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 repre-
     sented by a dash '-'.

     When the proper libraries have been included at compile time, dgtst can di-
     rectly handle compressed graphs, both as input  and  output.  A  stream  is
     treated as compressed whenever its name is postfixed with a compressed file
     extension,  such  as  in  'brol.grf.bz2' or '-.gz'. The compression 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 unsymmetric pat-
		   tern are symmetrized. In case the file contains  several  ma-
		   trices, the num parameter allow the user to provide the index
		   of the matrix to convert, starting from 0. When the num para-
		   meter 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 in-
		   dividual edges. Matrix pattern is symmetrized, such that rec-
		   tangular 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
