-------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ man v.label
v.label is all or nothing: no where=, no cats=3,5,4.

       labels=string
              Name of a paint-label file
Is that the output file? If so, say so.

   Flags:
       -a     Create labels along lines
Nobody grasps the meaning of this without further explanation.
Also mention how the program figures where along the line to put a
label(s). Say how to make pretty contour lines values, and give a way
to say how many times to repeat the value along the contour line.

p.map is mentioned but it doesn't exist now.

        font   Font
               default: standard
Mention what else we can choose.
Wait, I even see font=zzzzzzzzz works. Oh.

P.S.,
$ man ps.map
       EXAMPLE:
            labels town.names
You need an "end" after this!!

labels
       Selects a labels file for output (see manual entry for p.labels ).
       USAGE:    labels  labelfile|list
            font font name
            end
Seems like changing the font name here has no effect. Also say
font_name, one word. And if we can change the font name here, why not
also the font size, etc.

$ man d.vect
       -i     Use values from 'cat' option as line id

You mean cats option.
Also say if -i is equivalent to saying some other options.  And
explain further what is going on.

   Parameters:
       map=string
         echo  "update  testisola  set  GRASSRGB='123:45:237' where cat=139" |
       db.execute
Say cats=

       -x     Don't add to list of vectors and commands in monitor
Explain further.

P.S.,
$ echo ALTER TABLE c3a ADD COLUMN house int|db.execute
$ echo UPDATE c3a SET house=cat|db.execute
DBMI-DBF driver error:
SQL parser error in statement:
UPDATE c3a SET house=cat
Error in db_execute_immediate()
ERROR: Error while executing: "UPDATE c3a SET house=cat
Gee, sorry. 6.0.0

P.S., I see binary junk appended:
$ cat -v grassdata/shangcheng/addressing/hist/c2|tail -7
