man v.build () - Creates topology for GRASS vector data.

NAME

v.build - Creates topology for GRASS vector data.

SYNOPSIS

v.build

v.build help

v.build map=string [error=string] [option=string[,string,...]]

Parameters:

"map=string
Name of input vector
"error=string
Name of vector map where erroneous vectors are written to
"option=string[,string,...]
Build topology or dump topology or spatial index to stdout

build - build topology dump - write topology to stdout sdump - write spatial index to stdout cdump - write category index to stdout Options: build,dump,sdump,cdump Default: build

DESCRIPTION

v.build builds GRASS support files for (binary) GRASS vector data files. These support files supply topology and category information that are needed by other GRASS programs.

GRASS is generating these support files automatically, only in rare cases the user has to (re)build them.

NOTES

v.build creates support files only for binary vector files located in the user's current mapset. If binary file is located in another mapset, you need to specify this:

v.build map=geology@PERMANENT

In case of errors, the user can optionally generate an error vector map containing the erroneous vectors for later inspection.
