<div>How about:<br>
</div>
<div>"When using the -e flag, v.patch shifts category (cat)
values in the output so that category numbers from the
different input maps do not overlap. This shift is applied to
both the category values of the features and the category
values in the attribute tables. Hence, there is no need to run
v.category and v.db.update beforehand."</div>
