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
