                 given point.
r.buffer.lowmem
    keywords: raster,buffer
    description: Creates a raster map showing buffer zones surrounding cells
                 that contain non-NULL category values. This is the low-
                 memory alternative to the classic r.buffer module.
r.buffer
    keywords: raster,buffer
    description: Creates a raster map showing buffer zones surrounding cells
                 that contain non-NULL category values.

v.overlay
    keywords: vector,geometry,spatial query,intersection,union,clip
    description: Overlays two vector maps.;

Search in manual pages too
