NAME
       gcv - graph file	converter

SYNOPSIS
       gcv [options] [igfile] [ogfile] [oxfile]

DESCRIPTION
       The  gcv	program	converts Scotch	graph files from and to	other external
       file formats.

       File igfile is converted	into graph file	ogfile,	with optional geometry
       data being put in geometry file oxfile, if it is	available.

       When file names are not specified, data is read from standard input and
       written to standard output. Standard streams  can  also	be  explicitly
       represented by a	dash '-'.

       When the	proper libraries have been included at compile time, dgtst can
       directly	 handle	 compressed graphs, both as input and output. A	stream
       is treated as compressed	whenever its name is  postfixed	 with  a  com-
       pressed	file  extension, such as in 'brol.grf.bz2' or '-.gz'. The com-
       pression	formats	which can be supported are the bzip2 format  ('.bz2'),
       the gzip	format ('.gz'),	and the	lzma format ('.lzma', on input only).

OPTIONS
       -h     Display some help.

       -iifmt Set format of input graph	file, which can	be:

	      bnum   Boeing-Harwell  format.  This  is	a matrix format.  Only
		     square matrices are supported. Square matrices  with  un-
		     symmetric	pattern	are symmetrized. In case the file con-
		     tains several matrices, the num parameter allow the  user
		     to	 provide  the index of the matrix to convert, starting
		     from 0. When the num parameter is not set,	it is  assumed
		     to	be 0.

	      c	     Chaco  format.  This  is  an adjacency graph format, also
		     used by MeTiS.

	      m	     Matrix Market format. This	is a matrix format  describing
		     individual	 edges.	 Matrix	 pattern  is symmetrized, such
		     that rectangular matrices are eventually squared.

	      s	     Scotch graph format. This is an adjacency graph format.

       -oofmt Set format of output graph file, which can be:

	      c	     Chaco format.

	      m	     Matrix Market symmetric pattern format.

	      s	     Scotch format. This is the	default.

       -V     Display program version and copyright.

EXAMPLE
       Convert a Matrix	Market graph into a Scotch graph. Matrix Market	 files
       do not comprise geometry	data, so no geometry file is needed on output:

	   $ gcv -im brol.mm brol.grf
