DIMACS2G(1)

💖 DIMACS2G 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for dimacs2g 2.9.3 — yes it literally says that in the NAME section, she's self-referential like that 💅. It's a User Commands girlie and she's here to convert your graph files. Let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dimacs2g [-n#:#] [-a"string"] [-b"string"] [-d] -[c] [infile...]

like, that's the whole vibe. flags and files, that's it 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Read files of graphs in Dimacs format and write them to stdout. That's the whole job. She reads, she writes, she slays ✨

• -d — Use dreadnaut format. And just so we're clear, the default is sparse6, no cap.
• -n#:# — Specify a range of n values for output. Like, you're picking which n's get to come to the party 🎉
• -a"string" — A string to write before each graph. Lil intro text, main character energy 👑
• -b"string" — A string to write after each graph. The outro, the mic drop 🎤
• -a and -b only operate for dreadnaut output; and should be given in separate arguments. fr fr, don't try to smoosh them together, it's giving chaos 😭
• -c — Don't copy "c" comments from the input. Like, leave those comments where you found them, we're not doing that today 🙈

also!! input files with name *.gz are ungzipped. She handles that for you, no extra steps, we love a self-sufficient queen 🫶

---

that's genuinely it, bestie — she reads graphs, she writes graphs, she optionally formats and decorates them. iconic behavior, no notes 💖
