🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay the grammar of it, no cap:

v.in.e00 input=name type=string[,string,...] output=name  [--overwrite]
[--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

🦋 Flags 🦋

• --overwrite — Allow output files to overwrite existing files. yes bestie, it will fully bulldoze whatever was there before. be normal about it 💀
• --help — Print usage summary. your little cheat sheet 🫶
• --verbose — Verbose module output. it will tell you EVERYTHING, main character energy fr fr
• --quiet — Quiet module output. not me… silencing the module 😭
• --ui — Force launching GUI dialog. for when clicking > typing, no judgement 🌈

🍓 Parameters 🍓

• input=name [required] — Name of input E00 file. hand it the file, babe.
• type=string[,string,...] [required] — Input feature type. Options: point, line, area. Default: point. you can stack these, comma-separated, like a little charcuterie board of geometry ✨
• output=name [required] — Name for output vector map. what's it gonna be called when it's born 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

v.in.e00 imports ASCII and binary E00 vector maps into GRASS. both flavours, it's not picky, it ate and left no crumbs 🔥

---

👑 NOTES 👑

omg okay so listen. Sometimes an .e00 coverage consists of multiple files, where a single data set is contained as a series of files named filename.e00, filename.e01, filename.e02 etc.

⭐ the user must take care to download them all — the scripts automatically detects the presence of such multiple files. ngl it's giving "you can't just grab 1 of 3, that's not the whole outfit" 🎀 the detection is automatic so you don't gotta tell it, but the downloading is on you, bestie 🙈
