[GRASS-user] break/split lines based on another line layer

[G. Allegri]

I thought the followin command was the right way to break (e.g. split)
lines in layer_1 where they intersect lines in layer_2

v.edit map=layer_1 type=line tool=break cats=1990 bgmap=layer_2 where="1=1"

it doesn't work even if I use cat and apply it to a single line from line_1

Does the break tool works only with coords argument? Is there another way
to split lines?
