💖 DRETOG(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for dretog — user commands, main character energy only ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

dretog — this is the manual page for dretog 2.9.3, and yes she has her own page, periodt 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dretog [-n#o#sghq] [infile [outfile]]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Read graphs in dreadnaut format. That's the whole vibe. She reads graphs, she converts them, she slays 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -o# — start labeling those vertices at #, with a default of 0. ngl this one can get overridden in the input, so don't get too attached 😭
• -n# — sets the initial graph order to #. there is no default, bestie. and yeah, it can also be overridden in the input 💀
• -g — use graph6 format (this is the default for undirected graphs, lowkey iconic)
• -z — use digraph6 format (default for directed graphs, obviously)
• -s — use sparse6 format
• -h — write a header (following whatever -g, -z or -s told her to do)
• -q — suppress auxiliary output. quiet queen behavior 🤫

🧚 THE INPUT 🧚

so the input is a sequence of dreadnaut commands, but restricted to just these:

• n=# — set number of vertices (no default). the = is optional, she's flexible like that 💅
• $=# — set the label of the first vertex (default 0). and again, the = is optional.
• d — indicates the graph will be directed 📐
• $$ — returns the origin to its initial value (peep -o# for that one)
• ".." and !..\n — comments to ignore. not me ignoring them, the program does 🙈
• g — specifies the graph to follow, in dreadnaut format. this can be omitted if the first character of the graph is a digit or ';'
• q — exit (optional, but honestly valid)

---

ngl that's the whole page — every flag, every command, every default, all accounted for 💖 no cap.

this has been dretog 2.9.3, September 2026, signing off 🎀 thanks for reading bestie, you ate that 🫶✨
