[GRASS-dev] g.mlist list multiple types from all mapsets

[Martin Landa]

Hi all,

I would like to modify `g.mlist` to enable listing multiple types from
all mapsets in the given location. Now you can list multiple types
from search path, ie.

$ g.mlist rast,vect -m
raster map(s) available in mapset <g6>:
x at g6
vector map(s) available in mapset <g6>:
b at g6
obce6 at g6
vector map(s) available in mapset <PERMANENT>:
kltm50 at PERMANENT
lesy at PERMANENT
merene_body at PERMANENT
obce at PERMANENT
obce_b at PERMANENT
orp at PERMANENT
zel_stan at PERMANENT
zelez at PERMANENT

but it's hardly parsable

$ g.mlist rast,vect -m --q
x at g6
b at g6
obce6 at g6
kltm50 at PERMANENT
lesy at PERMANENT
merene_body at PERMANENT
obce at PERMANENT
obce_b at PERMANENT
orp at PERMANENT
zel_stan at PERMANENT
zelez at PERMANENT

so I was thinking to add a new flag which prints also element type

rast x at g6
vect b at g6
vect obce6 at g6
vect kltm50 at PERMANENT
...

(do we really need a new flag for that? There is probably nobody who
is parsing multiple types from `g.mlist`. So probably element type
could be automatically printed when mutiple types and `--q` flag are
given (?) Maybe too tricky...

The remaining question how to implement all mapsets search.

mapset=.

means search path

1) do we introduce special character for all mapsets ? (preferable I would say)
2) do we introduce new flag ?

Thanks for your ideas in advance! Martin
