CLMMEET(1)

💖 clm meet(1) — the glow-up edition ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the clm meet page!! this is a USER COMMANDS situation, so grab your iced coffee and let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

clm_meet — compute the intersection of a set of clusterings. 💅

Real talk though, bestie: clmmeet is not in actual fact a program. Not me exposing the whole thing immediately 😭 This manual page documents the behaviour and options of the clm program when it's invoked in mode meet. And the options -h, --apropos, --version, -set, --nop are accessible in all clm modes — they're described over in the clm manual page, so go peek at that one too 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

clm meet [-o fname (output file name)] [-h (print synopsis, exit)]
[--apropos (print synopsis, exit)] [--version (print version, exit)]
<file name>+

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea ☕ clm meet computes the intersection of a set of clusterings — meaning the largest clustering that is a subclustering of all the clusterings in the set. It's the meet, it's the overlap, it's the "what do we all agree on" moment, and honestly? iconic. 👑

It stores the intersection (or meet) in the argument to the -o flag, which must be the first option given. Periodt, no negotiation 💀 All the remaining arguments get interpreted as names of files containing clusterings in mcl format (see mcxio(5)), and — important — they must all pertain to a set of the same cardinality. Don't try to be slick with mismatched sets, bestie, it's not the vibe 🌸

Where does this actually come in handy? Lowkey everywhere, if you're into that. This utility can be useful in measuring — in conjunction with clm dist — the consistency of a set of clusterings at different levels of granularity 🦋 If the meet of all those clusterings is close to being a subclustering of each of them, then consistency is good. Simple as that. And there's an example waiting for you in clm dist, so go look, iykyk ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -o fname (output file name) — this is where the meet goes. Give it the output file name, and remember it has to come first 🎀
