DESCRIPTION
v.what outputs the category number value(s) associated with
user-specified location(s) in user-specified vector map layer(s).
This module was derived from the d.what.vect module by
removing all interactive code and modification of the output for
easy parsing. Using the -g flag generates script-style
output which is easily parsable.
EXAMPLE
North Carolina sample dataset example:
Query polygon at given position:
v.what zipcodes_wake coordinates=637502.25,221744.25
Find closest hospital to given position within given distance (search radius):
v.what hospitals coordinates=542690.4,204802.7 distance=2000000
