       The  program  _v_._s_t_a_t_s will print to standard output information about a
       user-specified binary GRASS vector map layer.



   FFllaagg::
       --hh     Display header information from the vector file.




   PPaarraammeetteerr::
       mmaapp==_n_a_m_e
	      Name of the binary GRASS vector file to be queried.



       The program will be run non-interactively if  the  user	specifies  the
       parameter  value and (optionally) sets the --hh flag on the command line,
       using the form:


       vv..ssttaattss [--hh] mmaapp==_n_a_m_e



       If the user instead simply types  vv..ssttaattss  without  specifying  program
       arguments  on  the  command  line,  the program will prompt the user to
       enter inputs through the standard user interface described in the  man-
       ual entry for _p_a_r_s_e_r.

       Sample output follows: Format: Version 4.0 (Level 2 access) (Portable)
       Number of Lines: 3
       Number of Nodes: 2
       Number of Areas: 2 (complete)
       Number of Isles: 1 (complete)
       Number of Atts : 2



       The  GRASS  version  number is given. Parenthetical text following this
       describes the read access level available and notes whether or not  the
       file  is  in  GRASS version 4.0 portable data format.  The access level
       indicates the types of data available for the named vector  map	layer.
       "Level  1"  denotes  a  binary  vector  file  (without any accompanying
       _d_i_g___p_l_u_s file), while "Level 2" denotes the  existence  of  a  _d_i_g___p_l_u_s
       (vector	topology)  file  for the named map layer (generally created by
       _v_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t).  If only Level 1 information is available for a vector  map
       layer,  only  the number of lines and (optionally) the file header will
       be printed to standard output.


       If all areas and islands (isles) in the vector file have  been  identi-
       fied  (usually  by  _v_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t),	their counts will be followed by "_c_o_m_-
       _p_l_e_t_e." If not, they will be followed by  "_i_n_c_o_m_p_l_e_t_e".	 The  _d_i_g___p_l_u_s
       file,  which  is  created and updated by _v_._s_u_p_p_o_r_t, must exist for this
       information to be output.
