NAME

       v.what  - Queries a vector map layer at given locations.

KEYWORDS

       vector, querying

SYNOPSIS

       v.what
       v.what help
       v.what      [-dag]      map=name[,name,...]       [east_north=east,north[,east,north,...]]
       [distance=float]   [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Flags:
       -d
           Print topological information (debugging)

       -a
           Print attribute information

       -g
           Print the stats in shell script style

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

   Parameters:
       map=name[,name,...]
           Name of input vector map

       east_north=east,north[,east,north,...]
           Coordinates for query
           If not given reads from standard input

       distance=float
           Query threshold distance
           Default: 0

DESCRIPTION

       v.what Outputs the category number value(s) associated with user-specified location(s)  in
       user-specified  vector  map layer(s).  This module was derived from the d.what.vect module
       by removing all interactive code and modification of the output for  easy  parsing.  Using
       the -g flag generates script-style output which is easily parsable.

       This  module  always reports standard acres, even when the location uses US Survey feet as
       the map unit.

EXAMPLE

       Spearfish example:
       v.what fields east_north=599121.75,4922981.125
