DESCRIPTION
v.out.ogr converts GRASS vector data to
OGR format.
OGR (Simple Features Library) is part of the
GDAL library, so you need to
install gdal to use v.out.ogr.
To export areas with holes into, e.g., a SHAPE file, while keeping the
holes as holes, the flag -c has to be used.
Supported OGR Vector Formats
ESRI
Shapefile
Mapinfo
File
TIGER
GML

EXAMPLE
Export lines from GRASS vector map to SHAPE format (generates /tmp/testogr.shp and related files):
v.out.ogr input=multi typ=line
dsn=/tmp layer=testogr
Export areas from GRASS vector map to SHAPE format (generates /tmp/testogr.shp and related files):
v.out.ogr input=multi typ=area
dsn=/tmp layer=testogr
Export lines from GRASS vector map to GML format (generates /tmp/testogr.gml file with layer 'testogr'):
v.out.ogr input=multi type=line
dsn=/tmp/testogr.gml layer=testogr
format=GML
Export areas from GRASS vector map directly to PostGIS:
v.out.ogr input=polygons type=area
dsn="PG:host=localhost dbname=postgis user=postgres" layer=polymap
format=PostgreSQL
