r.unpack
Imports a GRASS specific raster archive file (packed with r.pack) as a raster map
r.unpack [-op] input=name.pack [output=name] [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--qq] [--ui]
Example:
r.unpack input=name.pack
grass.script.run_command("r.unpack", input, output=None, flags=None, overwrite=None, verbose=None, quiet=None, superquiet=None)
Example:
gs.run_command("r.unpack", input="name.pack")
grass.tools.Tools.r_unpack(input, output=None, flags=None, overwrite=None, verbose=None, quiet=None, superquiet=None)
Example:
tools = Tools()
tools.r_unpack(input="name.pack")
This grass.tools API is experimental in version 8.5 and expected to be stable in version 8.6.
Parameters
input=name.pack [required]
Name of input pack file
output=name
Name for output raster map (default: taken from input file internals)
-o

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

--ui
Force launching GUI dialog

DESCRIPTION
r.unpack allows unpacking raster maps packed by r.pack.
NOTES
Name of the raster map is determined by default from pack file internals. 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
