EXPLANATION

The machine readable report file consist of lines of text, with fields that are separated by the pipe character |. The first field on a line defines the record type, and the remaining fields are defined according to the record type.
location
This record gives the GRASS database location.
location <name> <full name>
<name>
database location
<full name>
long name for the location
mapset
This record gives the GRASS mapset.
mapset <mapset>
<mapset>
mapset under which the report was run
region
The region records give the mapset region coordinates.

region north <N>
region south <S>
region west <W>
region east <E>

<N>
north for current region (float)
<S>
south for current region (float)
<W>
west for current region (float)
<E>
east for current region (float)
resolution
This record gives the GRASS database resolution in meters.
resolution <res>
<res>
resolution of the database, in meters (float)
point
These records describe the sites that were used in the report. There is one 'point' record for each site.
point <site_ref>
<site_ref>
a reference number, used by other lines in the report to reference this site
<E>
site easting
<N>
site northing
<desc>
a description of the site (usually an site number)
layer
These records describe the map layers that were used in the report. There is one 'layer' record for each layer.
layer <layer_ref> <name> <full_name>
<layer_ref>
a reference number, used by other lines in the report to reference this layer
<name>
name of the map layer (raster file name)
<full name>
full name (title of raster file)
cat
These records give information about each category in each layer.
cat <layer_ref>
<layer_ref>
reference number of the layer
<cat>
category number
<count>
number of times this category occurred
<name>
full name of the category
matrix size
This record gives the number of cells in each site.
matrix size <matrix size>
<matrix size>
number of cells per site.
matrix
These records describe the locations of each cell in the site relative to the center of the site.
matrix <ew_disp> <ns_disp> ...
<ew_disp>
east-west displacement from the site
<ns_disp>
north-south displacement from the site
The displacements are in units of 1 cell, which is equal to the resolution of the database. They are paired, and there will be <matrix size> pairs. To compute the coordinates for the cell:

north = site_north - <ns_disp> * resolution
east = site_east + <ew_disp> * resolution

data
This is the site data. There is one 'data' record for each site for each layer. The <cat> field is repeated <matrix size> times.
data <layer_ref> ...
<layer_ref>
reference number of the layer
<site_ref>
reference number of the site
<cat>
category which occurred
