[GRASS-dev] Plan to build Package to use GRASS from R

[Rainer M Krug]

I finally started working on the implementation of grass commands from
R and most of the translation from the the output from
--interface-description is working. I just have one question at the
moment: some flags require "--" and others "-" and I could not fiind
any indication in the
--interface-description output which one uses which.

Any ideas where I can get that info from?

Thanks

Rainer
