v.unpack

Imports a GRASS GIS specific vector archive file (packed with v.pack) as a vector map

v.unpack [-op] input=name.pack [output=name] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--qq] [--ui]

Example:

v.unpack input=name.pack

grass.script.run_command("v.unpack", input, output=None, flags=None, overwrite=False, verbose=False, quiet=False, superquiet=False)

Example:

gs.run_command("v.unpack", input="name.pack")

Parameters

input=name.pack [required]
    Name of input pack file
output=name
    Name for output vector map
    Default: taken from input file internals
-o
    Override projection check (use current projects's CRS)
    Assume that the dataset has same coordinate reference system as the current project
-p
    Print projection information of input pack file and exit

--overwrite
    Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
    Print usage summary
--verbose
    Verbose module output
--quiet
    Quiet module output
--qq
    Very quiet module output
--ui
    Force launching GUI dialog

input : str, required
    Name of input pack file
    Used as: input, file, name.pack
output : str, optional
    Name for output vector map
    Default: taken from input file internals
    Used as: output, vector, name
flags : str, optional
    Allowed values: o, p
    o
        Override projection check (use current projects's CRS)
        Assume that the dataset has same coordinate reference system as the current project
    p
        Print projection information of input pack file and exit

overwrite: bool, optional
    Allow output files to overwrite existing files
    Default: False
verbose: bool, optional
    Verbose module output
    Default: False
quiet: bool, optional
    Quiet module output
    Default: False
superquiet: bool, optional
    Very quiet module output
    Default: False

DESCRIPTION

v.unpack allows unpacking vector maps packed by v.pack.

NOTES

Name of the vector map is determined by default from pack file internals. Optionally the name can be given by output parameter.

EXAMPLE

Pack up vector map random_point into random_point.pack file.

v.pack input=random_point

the vector map can be afterwards unpacked by

v.unpack input=random_point.pack
