DESCRIPTION

       v.pack collects (packs) vector map elements and support files in GRASS Database and creates an compressed
       file using gzip algorithm. This file can be used to copy the vector map to another  machine.  The  packed
       file can be afterwards unpacked by v.unpack.

NOTES

       Name  of the pack file is determined by default from input parameter. Optionally the name can be given by
       output parameter.

EXAMPLE

       Pack up vector map random_point into random_point.pack file.
       v.pack input=random_point
       the vector map can be afterwards unpacked by
       v.unpack input=random_point.pack
