[GRASSLIST:5730] extract info from a vector file

hello to all,
please anyone can solve a doubt about how is possible to extract informations on a vector file, in lat/long coords, starting from a lat/long site file in a batch mode without mouse interaction?
many thanks

ps: I tried to find the question on the mailing list archive but the link was stalled.
