- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- type=datatype[,datatype,...]

- Default: rast
- pattern=string
- Map name search pattern (default: all)

- Default: newline
- mapset=string
- Mapset to list (default: current search path)
DESCRIPTION
g.xlist searches for data files matching a pattern given by wildcards or POSIX Extended Regular Expressions.
EXAMPLES
List all available GRASS data base files:
List all raster and vector maps:
Wildcards:
List all vector maps starting with letter "r":
g.xlist type=vect pattern="r*"
List certain raster maps with one variable character/number:
g.xlist type=rast pattern="N45E00?.meters"
Regular expressions:
Print out all soils map with "soils" in their name:
g.xlist -r type=rast pattern='^soils'
Print out "tmp" if "tmp" raster map exists:
g.xlist -r pattern='^tmp$'
Print out "tmp0" ..."tmp9" if corresponding vector map exists (each map name linewise):
g.xlist -r type=vect pattern='^tmp[0-9]$'
Print out "tmp0" ..."tmp9" if corresponding vector map exists (each map name comma separated):
g.xlist -r type=vect separator=, pattern='^tmp[0-9]$'
This may be useful for other programs' parameter input
(e.g. r.series).
