       --quiet
           Quiet module output

       --ui
           Force launching GUI dialog

   Parameters:
       input=name [required]

       output=name
           Name for output file (default is <input>.pack)

DESCRIPTION

       r.pack  collects  raster  map  elements  and  support  files and compressed them using gzip algorithm for
       copying. The resulting packed file can be afterwards unpacked within a GRASS  GIS  session  by  r.unpack.
       Since  the  selected raster map is not exported but natively stored, the current region is not respected.
       Hence r.pack stores the entire raster map.

NOTES

       By default, the name of the pack file is determined from the input parameter. Optionally a different name
       can be given by output parameter.  Currently only 2D raster maps are supported.

EXAMPLE

       Pack up the entire raster map aspect into aspect.pack file:
       r.pack input=aspect
       The packed raster map file  aspect.pack can afterwards be unpacked by
       r.unpack input=aspect.pack
