DESCRIPTION

       r.support allows the user to create and/or edit raster map support information. Editing of
       raster  map  color  tables,  category labels, header, history, semantic label elements and
       title is supported.  Category labels can also be copied from another raster map.

   Raster band management
       Raster semantic label concept is similar to dimension name in other GIS and remote sensing
       applications. Most common usage will be assigning a remote sensing platform sensor band ID
       to the raster, although any identifier is supported. Raster semantic label is suggested to
       work with imagery classification tools.

EXAMPLES

       These  examples  are  based  on  the  North Carolina dataset, more specfically the landuse
       raster map.  Copy the landuse map to the current mapset
       g.copy raster=landuse,my_landuse

   Update statistics
       r.support -s map=my_landuse

   Update Title
       r.support map=my_landuse title="Landuse copied"

   Append to History Metadata
       r.support map=my_landuse history="Copied from PERMANENT mapset"

   Update Units Display
       r.support map=my_landuse units=meter

   Set semantic label
       Note: landuse map doesn’t confirm to CORINE specification. This is an example only.
       r.support map=my_landuse semantic_label=CORINE_LULC

NOTES

       If  metadata  options  such  as  title  or  history  are  given  the   module   will   run
       non-interactively. If only the map name is given r.support will run interactively within a
       terminal shell and the user with be prompted for input.

       Freeform metadata information is stored in a "hist" file which may be appended to by using
       the  history  option.  Currently  this  is limited to 50 lines of text with a maximum line
       length of 78 characters. Any input larger than this will be wrapped to the next line.  All
       other metadata strings available as standard options are limited to 79 characters.
