 Trying to test the existence of maps with g.findfile I see there is
 something wrong with the command and its manual. It says the -l option
 provides a list of "elements" keywords. In my case it gives the
 following:

 {{{
      raster    (raster map(s))
      raster_3d (3D raster map(s))
      vector    (vector map(s))
      label     (paint label file(s))
      region    (region definition(s))
      group     (imagery group(s))
 }}}

 But in case I want to test if raster map foo exits (and it actually
 exists) the following command says it does not:

 {{{
 g.findfile element=raster file=foo
 }}}

 whereas

 {{{
 g.findfile element=cell file=foo
 }}}

 matches the map.


 In fact, the file $GISBASE/etc/element_list contains these keywords:

 {{{
      cell:raster:raster:raster map(s)
      cellhd:header
      cats:category
      colr:color
      hist:history
      cell_misc:misc
      fcell:fcell
      g3dcell:g3dcell
      grid3:raster_3d:3D raster:3D raster map(s)
      vector:vector:vector:vector map(s)
      paint/labels:label:label:paint label file(s)
      windows:region:region definition:region definition(s)
      group:group:imagery group:imagery group(s)
 }}}
