[GRASSLIST:837] help needed with buffering

[Ambili Sudhi]

hi everyone,
 
plz help me out with this problem:
 
I have a vector map which displays the coastline of a country and I would like to draw a
buffering line joining all points which is at a certain distance "d" from the coastline.
so given the coastline vector map and the distance "d" is there a command in GRASS which will 
draw this buffering line around the coast?

Ambili.
