COUNTNEG(1)

💖 COUNTNEG(1) 💖

okay bestie, so you know how we're out here living our best lives in the User Commands section of the manual? yeah. this is that. it's countneg, and it's on version 2.9.3. she's been around. she's iconic. let's go 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

countneg [-ne] [infile]

like, that's it. that's the whole thing. you pass her some flags, maybe a file, and she goes to work. main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the whole vibe here? count graphs by number of vertices and/or number of edges. that's her job. that's what she does. she looks at your graphs and she counts them, and you get to pick how she counts them, which is lowkey the fun part 🌈

here's your flag lineup, no gatekeeping:

• -n — count by vertices. just vertices. only vertices. she's counting vertices, bestie 🦋
• -e — count by edges. edges only, nothing else, and honestly? valid ✨
• the default, and also -ne — count by both. vertices and edges. two things at once. she can multitask, it's giving overachiever 💜
• -q — suppress auxiliary output. like, she'll keep the actual counting to herself and just... not do the extra chatter. quiet queen behavior 🙈

⚠️ okay important one, don't skip this: use countg instead if incremental inputs are present. like literally. if your inputs are incremental, countneg is not the girl for that job. countg is. i don't make the rules, i just report them 💀

and that's the whole page, no cap. every flag accounted for, nothing left out, nothing invented. we ate and left no crumbs 👑
