map=name[,name,...] [required]

Name of vector map(s)
layer=string[,string,...]

Layer number or name (’-1’ for all layers)
A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
Default: -1
type=string[,string,...]

Input feature type
Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, area, face, kernel
Default: point,line,area,face
coordinates=east,north [required]

Coordinates for query
’-’ for standard input
distance=float

Query threshold distance
Default: 0

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.

North Carolina sample dataset example:

Query polygon at given position:


v.what zipcodes_wake coordinates=637502.25,221744.25

Find closest hospital to given position within given distance (search radius):


v.what hospitals coordinates=542690.4,204802.7 distance=2000000

d.what.rast, d.what.vect, v.rast.stats, v.vect.stats, v.what.rast, v.what.rast3, v.what.vect
