💖 BLISS 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the bliss manual page (that's section 1 of the manuals, for the record) and honestly? we're about to eat. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

bliss — compute automorphism groups and canonical labelings of graphs. no cap, that's literally the whole gig. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bliss [OPTIONS] [<GRAPH FILE>]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Bliss is an open source tool for computing automorphism groups and canonical forms of graphs. The graphs are specified in DIMACS format. she's open source, she's a tool, she does the math. main character energy fr fr. 👑

• -directed — the input graph is directed. so like, the edges have a direction, bestie. respect the arrows. ➡️
• -can — compute the canonical form. ✨
• -ocan=f — compute the canonical form AND output it into the file f. double duty, she's doing both, obsessed. 💖
• -v=N — set the verbosity level to N. the range is N >= 0, and the default is 1. so 0 means she says nothing (mysterious, iconic), and up from there she gets chatty. 🗣️
• -sh=X — select the splitting heuristics, where X is one of these:
  • f — first non-singleton cell
  • fl — first largest non-singleton cell
  • fs — first smallest non-singleton cell
  • fm — first maximally non-trivially connected non-singleton cell
  • flm — first largest maximally non-trivially connected non-singleton cell
  • fsm — first smallest maximally non-trivially connected non-singleton cell (this one's the default, btw)

pick your fighter. 🥊

• -fr=X — use failure recording? X is y or n, and the default is y. it's a yes/no situation, bestie. 🫶
• -cr=X — use component recursion? X is y or n, and the default is y. again: yes or no, that's it, that's the whole question. 🌈
• -version — print the version number and exit. she'll tell you her age and then dip. 💀
• -help — print this help and exit. she'll explain herself and then dip. 🙈
