NAME
r.pack - Exports a raster map as GRASS GIS specific archive file
KEYWORDS
raster, export, copying
SYNOPSIS
r.pack
r.pack --help
r.pack [-c] input=name [output=name] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
-c
Switch the compression off
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
input=name [required]
Name of raster map to pack up
output=name
Name for output file (default is .pack)
DESCRIPTION
r.pack collects raster map elements and support files and compressed them using gzip algorithm for copying. The resulting packed file can be afterwards unpacked within a GRASS GIS session by r.unpack. Since the selected raster map is not exported but natively stored, the current region is not respected. Hence r.pack stores the entire raster map.
NOTES
By default, the name of the pack file is determined from the input parameter. Optionally a different name can be given by output parameter. Currently only 2D raster maps are supported.
EXAMPLE
Pack up the entire raster map aspect into aspect.pack file:
r.pack input=aspect
The packed raster map file aspect.pack can afterwards be unpacked by
r.unpack input=aspect.pack
