BOTCH-GRAPH-SINKS(1)

💖 BOTCH-GRAPH-SINKS 💖

okay bestie, welcome to botch-graph-sinks, a lil tool from the botch tools lineup (section 1 of the manual, iykyk) and it's literally here to find all the sinks in a graph — and yes, that means vertices with no successors 💅 graphs in GraphML or dot format, we love to see it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

botch-graph-sinks — find all sinks (vertices without successors) in a graph in GraphML or dot format

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

botch-graph-sinks [options] [ingraph] [outgraph]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does is extract the subgraph of all sinks — aka the vertices that have literally no successors — from the input graph. main character behaviour honestly 👑

if either (or both!!) of the positional arguments is/are omitted, then it reads GraphML or dot from standard input and/or writes GraphML or dot to standard output, respectively. and if you pass a - as either argument, that explicitly says "read the input from standard input" and "write the output to standard output", respectively 🫶

the input graph type gets determined automatically, no cap. if the output graph is given as a filename, then the output type will be GraphML if the filename ends with .xml and dot if the filename ends with .dot. if the output is done on standard output, then it'll happen in the same format as the input graph. iconic, honestly ✨

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, --help — display help 🙈 (it's giving "help me help you")
• -v, --verbose — be verbose 🗣️ (say more, bestie)
