[GRASS-dev] v.in.ogr: cnames vs. columns

[Veronica Andreo]

Hi Helli,

Using the history link at the end of the manual, I found:

https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/63602/grass/trunk/vector/v.in.ogr

cnames was renamed to columns in 63602... could you please edit the manual?
I'm on phone.

Cheers,
Vero

hi,

just found it in the manual:

https://grass.osgeo.org/grass73/manuals/v.in.ogr.html

in the command itself it's "columns"

v.in.ogr [-flc2tojrewi] input=string [layer=string[,string,...]]
[output=name] [spatial=xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax[,xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax,...]]
[where=sql_query] [min_area=float] [type=string[,string,...]] [snap=float]
[location=name] [columns=name[,name,...]] [encoding=string] [key=string]
[geometry=name] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

in the rest of the manual "cnames"

 "v.in.ogr converts '.', '-' and '#' to '_' (underscore) during import. The
-w flag changes capital column names to lowercase characters as a
convenience for SQL usage (lowercase column names avoid the need to quote
them if the attribute table is stored in a SQL DBMS such as PostgreSQL). The
cnames parameter is used to define new column names during import.

The DBF database specification limits column names to 10 characters. If the
default DB is set to DBF and the input data contains longer column/field
names, they will be truncated. If this results in multiple columns with the
same name then v.in.ogr will produce an error. In this case you will either
have to modify the input data or use v.in.ogr's cnames parameter to rename
columns to something unique. (hint: copy and modify the list given with the
error message). Alternatively, change the local DB with db.connect. "

am I right that the manual should be changed?
