πŸ’– gdump(1) β€” Scotch user's manual πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the gdump page, part of the one and only Scotch user's manual ✨ pull up a chair, grab a strawberry πŸ“, and let's get you fluent in graph-dumping.


✨ NAME ✨

gdump β€” dumps the contents of a source graph as a source code πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gdump [options] [igfile] [ocfile]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so basically?? gdump lets you create a source code that's equivalent to the loading of a centralized source graph. the contents of that source graph? they get represented as data arrays, and those arrays get assembled by calling the SCOTCH_graphBuild routine from the libScotch library. iconic behavior tbh πŸ‘‘


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • -bbase β€” Set the base value of the graph described by the source code. πŸ”’
  • -h β€” Display some help. yeah just a lil help, no thoughts head empty 🫢
  • -pprefix β€” Set the prefix to add to to all array names and to the graph buiding function name. ✨
  • -ssuffix β€” Set the suffix to add to to all array names and to the graph buiding function name. πŸŽ€
  • -V β€” Display program version and copyright. πŸ“œ
no cap, if you don't pass the right array-naming flag your generated source is gonna vibe-check you right back πŸ™ˆ

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

Create a soure C file brol.c that corresponds to graph brol.grf, with identifier and creation function name suffix _brol. πŸ’–

$ gdump -s_brol brol.grf brol.c
