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,  and  title  is  supported.
       Category labels can also be copied from another raster map.

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.
