See the manual: -g

GRASS 7.2.1svn (nc_spm_08_grass7):~ > v.what zipcodes_wake
coordinates=637502.25,221744.25 -g
East=637502.25
North=221744.25

Map=zipcodes_wake
Mapset=PERMANENT
Type=Area
Sq_Meters=130875884.223
Hectares=13087.588
Acres=32340.135
Sq_Miles=50.5315
Layer=1

This output is easy to parse.
