   Parameters:
       input=name
           Name of input vector map

       output=name
           Name for output vector map

DESCRIPTION

       v.convert converts GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4 vectors into 5.7/6.x vectors.

NOTES

       Vector  maps  from 5.0/5.3/5.4 and 5.7/6.x do not interfere. They are stored in different directories, so
       you can use the same names. Old vector maps can be listed with g.list oldvect.

       If you need to convert back from 5.7/6.x into the 5.0/5.3/5.4 vector  format,  use  v.out.ogr  (to  SHAPE
       format) and then v.in.shape in the old GRASS program.  Alternatively use "v.out.ascii -o" and v.in.ascii.

       As  this  GRASS version uses SQL for attribute management, there are some SQL restrictings concerning the
       file names.

       Missing centroids can be added with v.category.

EXAMPLE

       v.convert in=vectormap_from_50 out=vectormap_60
