[GRASS5] retreval of data in GRASS

[Saurabh Data]

Dear users

I am doing a research and justifying GRASS as a GIS on the basis of a few 
essential GIS functions and tools.

Can someone clarify how is data ---retrieved--- in GRASS ?

Retrieval according to the dictionary means "The process of accessing 
information from memory or other storage devices."

Is it by any chance related to data import and export ?

I think not but thought would just clarify. If it is related to time, then 
are there any research or figures available ?

Many THanks

Saurabh
