[GRASS-dev] v.info layer option

Hi devs,

I tried v.info using layer option but I cannot see any differences, I
notice also that is possible to use any character and it doesn't
return any error, you could also set layer=a and it return the same
value.

Do you have the same behavior?

Hi Luca,

apparently [0] the layer option is only needed for v.info -c (Print
types/names of table columns for specified layer instead of info and
exit). What information about a vector do you want to get? Note that
vector objects (points, lines, boundaries, areas) are always present,
even if they are not linked to a layer at all. Maybe v.category
option=report is more appropriate for your needs?

A question like this should rather go to the user ml.

yes v.category is the right answer, thanks
