🦋 g.findetc — the manual, but make it make sense 💅

okay bestie, this is g.findetc from the GRASS User's Manual, manual name g.findetc(1grass). It's a lil general-purpose helper that goes hunting for GRASS support files. It does one job and it does it beautifully. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

g.findetc — searches for GRASS support files 🔍

🎀 KEYWORDS 🎀

general, map management, scripts

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

g.findetc
g.findetc --help
g.findetc file=string  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

🫶 Flags

  • --help — prints the usage summary, i.e. the "what do I even type" cheat sheet 💖
  • --verbose — verbose module output, she talks more 🗣️
  • --quiet — quiet module output, she says nothing, iconic 💀
  • --ui — force launches the GUI dialog, main character energy, windows and all 🪟

🧚 Parameters

  • file=string — required, no skipping this one queen. It's the name of a file or directory you want found. 📁

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

g.findetc was literally designed for Bourne shell scripts that need to search for support data, programs and subfolders across any number of directories, as specified in GRASS_ADDON_ETC, plus the GRASS application etc/ directory. 🧺

The way that this exists is for addon scripts that are installed outside the GRASS application directory — think a user's home, or a system addon directory. She's built for the off-campus girlies. 🌈

🌟 OUTPUT 🌟

g.findetc writes the full path to the file or directory to standard output. That's it. That's the whole flex. 💅
