see http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Module_command_line_parser > I wonder if the special parser flags should be left out of > the --interface-description output. note that --overwrite comes and goes depending of if it is relevant to the module. re. the module list of flag from r.buffer --help: the vertical descriptions of flags uses the short version (--q), but note that the top USAGE: line has the long version. Both ways are listed there on purpose as a hint. Hamish _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
