# MODULE:       GRASS initialization script
# AUTHOR(S):    Original author unknown - probably CERL
#               Andreas Lange <andreas.lange rhein-main.de>
#               Huidae Cho <grass4u gmail.com>
#               Justin Hickey <jhickey hpcc.nectec.or.th>

#
#               GRASS 7: converted to Python (based on init.sh shell
#               script from GRASS 6) by Glynn Clements
#               Martin Landa <landa.martin gmail.com>
#               Luca Delucchi <lucadeluge gmail.com>
#               Vaclav Petras <wenzeslaus gmail.com> (refactoring and exec)
# PURPOSE:      Sets up environment variables, parses any remaining
#               command line options for setting the GISDBASE, LOCATION,
#               and/or MAPSET. Finally it starts GRASS with the appropriate
#               user interface and cleans up after it is finished.
