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.
