mcx - perform various computations on graphs and matrices





   mcx <mode> [mode-options] [mode-files]













mcx implements a variety of computations on graphs and
    matrices. The first argument to mcx should be a mode, which is
    a string establishing the type of computation to invoke. Each mode
    mode is described in the mcxmode manual page. The currently
    available modes are convert, diameter, clcf, q
    and ctty. The convert mode is thus described in the
    mcxconvert manual page.


Invoking mcx without arguments causes it to print out a
    list of available modes with a short description of the type of command line
    expected by that mode.


Invoking mcx with just a mode will print out a longer
    listing of options available for that particular mode. Modes that are able
    to function normally without arguments can be invoked by adding the
    --nop argument.


Several options are shared between all mcx modes. Note that
    these options are specified after the mode. See OPTIONS.


The --version causes mcx to print out version and
    license information.


Issuing mcx help mode will cause mcx to look for a
    manual page describing mode and display it if found. This requires
    that the MANPATH environment variable contains the directory in which the
    MCL-edge manual pages were installed. This will usually be
    PREFIX/share, where PREFIX is the path with which the software
    was configured.










These are options that pertain to all modes. They should be
    specified after the mode argument.



  

  -h (synopsis)
  

  

  

  --help (synopsis)
  

  

  
  

  List available options.
  





  

  --nop (no-op)
  

  Not an option. This option has no effect then to increment the argument count.
    This can be useful for mcx modes which are able to function without
    any options. Such a mode typically reads from STDIN, writes to STDOUT, and
    uses default settings. However, simply specifying a mode without options
    leads mcx to output a list of available options for that mode. This
    can be prevented by using the --nop option.
  





  

  -set (key=val)
  

  Sets the key key to value val in the environment.
    Some modes allow adjustment of settings in this manner.
  





  

  -progress <num> (progress interval size)
  

  Defines the interval that defines the progress frequency.
  





  

  --debug (turn on debugging)
  

  Turn debugging on.
  





  

  --version (show version)
  

  Show version.
