v.convert.all: Convert all old GRASS < Ver5.7 vector maps in current mapset to current format

NAME
       v.convert.all   - Convert all old GRASS < Ver5.7 vector maps in current
       mapset to current format

KEYWORDS
       vector, import

SYNOPSIS
       v.convert.all
       v.convert.all help
       v.convert.all [-r]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]

   Flags:
       -r
           run non-interactively

       --verbose
           Verbose module output

       --quiet
           Quiet module output

DESCRIPTION
       v.convert.all converts all GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4  vectors  in  the  current
       mapset into GRASS 6.0 vectors.

NOTES
       Vector  maps from 5.0/5.3/5.4 and 6.0 do not interfere. They are stored
       in different directories, so you can use the  same  names.  Old  vector
       maps can be listed with g.list oldvect.

       If  you  need  to  convert  back  from  6.0 into the 5.0/5.3/5.4 vector
       format, use v.out.ogr (to SHAPE format) and then v.in.shape in the  old
       GRASS program.  Alternatively use "v.out.ascii -o" and v.in.ascii.

       As this GRASS version uses SQL for attribute management, there are some
       SQL restrictings concerning the file names.  This script  changes  dots
       (e.g.  "foo.bar")  in  old  vector  map  names  into underline(s) (e.g.
       "foo_bar").

EXAMPLE
       To convert all old vector maps in the current mapset to the new  vector
       format:
       v.convert.all -r
