/*!
 * \brief get raster map title
 *
 * If only the map layer title is needed, it is not necessary to read the
 * entire category file into memory. This routine gets the title for raster map
 * <b>name</b> in <b>mapset</b> directly from the category file, and returns
 * a pointer to the title. A legal pointer is always returned. If the map layer
 * does not have a title, then a pointer to the empty string "" is returned.
