Table I: GRASS Spatial Analysis Programs

Sl. No. Command Keyword
1 display commands (d.*)
2 database commands (db.*)
3 general commands (g.*)
4 general3D commands (g3.*)
5 imagery commands (i.*)
6 paint commands (p.*)
7 postGRASS commands (pg.*)
8 postscript commands (ps.*)
9 raster commands (r.*)
10 vector commands (v.*)
11 miscellaneous commands (m.*)
12 site manipulation commands (s.*)

Additionally, there is always a possibility of writing our own code as extensions. The typical applications done in GRASS are erosion, hydrologic, terrain modelling, image processing, raster analysis, landscape structure analysis, etc.
