v.support
Updates vector map metadata.
v.support [-rh] map=name [organization=phrase] [date=datestring] [person=phrase] [map_name=phrase] [map_date=datestring] [scale=integer] [zone=integer] [threshold=float] [comment=phrase] [cmdhist=command] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--qq] [--ui]
Example:
v.support map=name
grass.script.run_command("v.support", map, organization=None, date=None, person=None, map_name=None, map_date=None, scale=None, zone=None, threshold=None, comment=None, cmdhist=None, flags=None, verbose=None, quiet=None, superquiet=None)
Example:
gs.run_command("v.support", map="name")
grass.tools.Tools.v_support(map, organization=None, date=None, person=None, map_name=None, map_date=None, scale=None, zone=None, threshold=None, comment=None, cmdhist=None, flags=None, verbose=None, quiet=None, superquiet=None)
Example:
tools = Tools()
tools.v_support(map="name")
This grass.tools API is experimental in version 8.5 and expected to be stable in version 8.6.

will be returned.
DESCRIPTION
v.support is used to set/update vector map metadata. While GRASS typically generates these metadata entries automatically, v.support allows users to manually edit them when necessary.
EXAMPLE
# update scale to 1:24000
v.support myvectmap scale=24000
# update organization
v.support myvectmap organization="OSGeo labs"
v.info myvectmap
