r.buffer.lowmem - 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.lowmem creates a new raster map showing buffer (a.k.a. "distance" or "proximity") zones around all cells that contain non-NULL category values in an existing raster map. The distances of buffer zones from cells with non-zero category values are user-chosen.
This is the low-memory alternative to the classic r.buffer module. It is much slower than the classic version, but will run on massive raster maps without using a lot of RAM. If your raster map is larger than 32000x32000 cells on a system with 1 GB of RAM, or larger than 90000x90000 cells on a system with 8 GB of RAM, consider using this module.
For more info see manual of r.buffer.
In the following example, the buffer zones would be (in the
default units of meters): 0-100, 101-200, 201-300, 301-400 and 401-500.
r.buffer.lowmem input=roads output=roads.buf distances=100,200,300,400,500
Result:
r.category input=roads.buf
