MAP=roads eval `g.findfile element=hist file="$MAP"` head -n 1 "$file" It's stored as a text string; what you see is what you get. see also r.timestamp, but that is for map metadata not file creation timestamp. > os.stat (python) - has a nice date integer format, but it > requires that I have the full path to the cellhd folder. use g.findfile for that. > Database and location are easy via g.gisenv, but getting the mapset > on an individual layer basis isn't completely straightforward. > I can use use "g.mlist -m rast pattern=<filename>", but that > essentially greps it out of a full list. I don't fully understand what you mean by those two.
