Comment (by hamish):

 g.proj --help says:
 {{{
   datumtrans   Index number of datum transform parameters
                 "0" for unspecified or "-1" to list and exit
 }}}

 so in this case valid options to pass g.proj for that are 0-6.

 {{{
  g.proj datumtrans=-1  proj4="+proj=lcc +datum=nad83"
 }}}

 [aside]
 North American Datum 1983 (nad83) is chronologically very close to 1984,
 so +towgs84=0,0,0 isn't too surprising (same for any datum post-satellite
 era), the others (2-6) are all NTv2 grid file transforms (is NAD83 a
 continental plate-bound datum?).



 I see the g.proj -t and -d flags, but not really sure if they help.

 here are the valid options I was describing for my neck of the woods:
 {{{
  g.proj proj4="+proj=nzmg +datum=nzgd49" datumtrans=-1
 }}}


 If I guess correctly you are looking at parsing the g.proj datumtr=-1
 output instead of the datumtransform.table file?


 thanks,
 Hamish
