NAME
v.clean - Cleans out dead lines in GRASS vector files.
(GRASS Vector Program)
SYNOPSIS
v.clean
v.clean help
v.clean map=name
DESCRIPTION
When programs like digit delete lines, they do not really go away, but
are simply marked as deleted. This is done primarily for speed. But
a side effect is that vector files can end up carrying a lot of dead weight
with them.
v.clean will go through a vector file and remove all dead lines in
the file thus potentially reducing the size of the file.
You do not have to run
v.support afterwards.

- map
