           Comma separated names of data layers to download

       srs=string
           Specify alternate spatial reference system (example: EPSG:4326)
           The given code must be supported by the server, consult the capabilities file

       maximum_features=integer
           Maximum number of features to download
           (default: unlimited)

       start_index=integer
           Skip earlier feature IDs and start downloading at this one

DESCRIPTION

       v.in.wfs imports OGC WFS maps (Web Feature Service) from external servers.

EXAMPLES

   WFS import without credentials
       Import of Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite scene footprints:

       # run in Latitude-Longitude location (EPGS code 4326):
       # download "sentinel:mgrs" layer:
       v.in.wfs url="https://geoserver.mundialis.de/geoserver/sentinel/wfs?" name="sentinel:mgrs" output=sentinel2_mgrs

   WFS import with API key
       Download 25 ship wrecks from LINZ data service:
       (first create yourself a free API key at http://data.linz.govt.nz/p/web-services/)

       # run in LatLong location:
       URL=’http://wfs.data.linz.govt.nz/<PUT YOUR API KEY HERE>/wfs?’
       # download list of available layers to wms_capabilities.xml
       v.in.wfs -l url="$URL"
       From that file we learn that the shipwreck layer is called "v:x633"  and  that  EPSG  code
       4326 (LatLong WGS84) is a supported SRS for this data layer.
       v.in.wfs url="$URL" output=linz_hydro_25_wrecks name="v:x633" srs="EPSG:4326" max=25

REQUIREMENTS

       The OGR library on the system needs to be compiled with Xerces C++ XML Parser support (for
       GML).
