r.circle


    keywords: raster,buffer,geometry,circle


    description: Creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a


                 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.

Search all modules, where keywords overlay AND clip can be found with some fancy terminal output (not shown here): 

g.search.modules keyword=clip,overlay -a -c
v.clip


    keywords: vector,clip,area


    description: Extracts features of input map which overlay features


                 of clip map.

              query,clip,difference,intersection,union


    description: Overlays two vector maps offering clip, intersection,


                 difference, symmetrical difference, union operators.

Search in manual pages as well: 

g.search.modules -m keyword=kapri
db.execute
