g.copy --help
g.copy [raster=from,to] [raster_3d=from,to] [vector=from,to] [label=from,to] [region=from,to] [group=from,to] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Parameters:
- raster=from,to
- raster map(s) to be copied
- raster_3d=from,to
- 3D raster map(s) to be copied
- vector=from,to
- vector map(s) to be copied

- group=from,to
- imagery group(s) to be copied
A user may access data stored under the other mapsets listed in their
mapset search path. However, the user may only modify data stored
under their own current mapset.
g.copy allows the user to copy
existing data files
from other mapsets
to the user's
current mapset ($MAPSET). The files to be copied must exist in the
user's current mapset search path and location; output is sent to the
relevant data element directory(ies) under the user's current mapset.
If the user wished to copy the existing raster
file
soils to a file called
soils.ph and
to copy an existing vector map
roads to a file
called
rds.old, the user could type:
g.copy raster=soils,soils.ph
g.copy vector=roads,rds.old
# or even combined:
g.copy raster=soils,soils.ph vector=roads,rds.old
Data files can also be specified by their mapsets. For
example, the below command copies the raster map named
soils from the mapset wilson to a new
file called soils to be placed under the user's
current mapset:
g.copy raster=soils@wilson,soils
If no mapset name is specified,
g.copy searches for the
named
from map in each of the mapset directories listed in the
user's current mapset search path in the order in which mapsets are
listed there (see
g.mapsets).
