       output=name

DESCRIPTION

       r.pack collects raster map elements and support  files  and  compressed  them  using  gzip
       algorithm for copying. The packed file can be afterwards unpacked by r.unpack.

NOTES

       Name  of  the pack file is determined by default from input parameter. Optionally the name
       can be given by output parameter.  Currently only 2D raster maps are supported.

EXAMPLE

       Pack up raster map aspect into aspect.pack file.
       r.pack input=aspect
       the raster map can be afterwards unpacked by
       r.unpack input=aspect.pack
