## DESCRIPTION

v.build builds GRASS support files for (binary) GRASS vector data files. These support files supply topology and category information that are needed by other GRASS programs.
GRASS is generating these support files automatically, only in rare cases the user has to (re)build them.

## NOTES

v.build creates support files only for binary vector files located in the user's current mapset. If binary file is located in another mapset, you need to specify this:

v.build map=geology@PERMANENT

In case of errors, the user can optionally generate an error vector map containing the erroneous vectors for later inspection.
