NAME

m.dst.list, m.dst.create, m.dst.remove, m.dst.rename - Manage Dempster-Shafer knowledge base files in the current mapset.
(GRASS Dempster-Shafer Knowledge Base File Management Programs)

SYNOPSIS

m.dst.list

m.dst.create file=name

m.dst.remove file=name

m.dst.rename old=name new=name

DESCRIPTION

These commands allow the user to list, create, delete and rename Dempster-Shafer knowledge base files. A knowledge base file is an XML format ASCII file which resides in its own 'DST' element inside the user's current mapset. If you do not know what DST is or why you would need any of these programs, please refer to the m.dst.view command's manpage for an introduction.

The information contained in a knowledge base file can be viewed and modified by using the m.dst.update , m.dst.update and m.dst.source commands.

Parameters

file=name
Name of DST knowledge base file to create or remove. You can get a listing of DST knowledge base files in your current mapset by using m.dst.list .
old=name
Current name of knowledge base file to be renamed.
new=name
Desired new name of knowledge base file. The usual conventions for file names apply: no spaces, no fancy special characters. Please note case sensitivity for both reading and writing.

Notes

This program was developed as part of the GRASS 5 DST Predictive Modelling Toolkit.
The term 'knowledge base file' was first used in the manual of the IDRISI GIS software which also offers some DST functionality.
