[GRASS-user] How many modules has GRASS?

Nikos:

> No need for grep or anything other then file names

and even the -1 is optional, it automatically switches to that if stdout is piped.

also remember modules like xganim and nviz without a dot (if list method is not regex) and the few redundant wrapper scripts (r.cats, r.terraflow.short, ..) which are not seperate modules.


I don't really see the worth in a counting script, but if you really want that the place to put it would be in the tools/ dir along with build_html_index.sh and module_synopsis.sh.

another way, using tab completion:  :)
GRASS> r.<tab><tab>
Display all 154 possibilities? (y or n)
