💖 GLPSOL 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for glpsol from the General Commands Manual, section 1 — yes the big-girl "run me in a terminal" section. she's a large-scale linear and mixed integer programming solver and honestly? iconic behavior.

✨ NAME ✨

glpsol — large-scale linear and mixed integer programming solver 🧚

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glpsol [options...] filename

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you give her options, you give her a file, she goes to work. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she actually do, you ask? She solves linear programming (LP) and mixed integer programming (MIP) problems, and she does it using the GNU Linear Programming Kit (GLPK) library. no cap, that's the whole job and she is so good at it. 👑

Your problems live inside filename, and they can be described in one of the following formats:

  • fixed MPS
  • free MPS
  • CPLEX LP
  • GNU MathProg

pick your fave, she speaks them all fluently. 🌈

💜 OPTIONS 💜

ngl, the options list is its own whole thing and this page is not gonna gatekeep you halfway:

  • --help — fr fr, just run glpsol --help and she'll tell you everything. that's the actual documentation bestie, go look. 👀
lowkey obsessed with a program that keeps its receipts elsewhere, but okay, we respect it.

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

Want example problems, already written out in various formats so you can peek and copy? Run, don't walk, to:

/usr/share/doc/glpk-utils/examples/

go look at them, they're right there, they're free, they're waiting for you. 🎀

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

Want the deep lore? There's more, and it slays:

  • For a description of the MPS and CPLEX LP formats, check the GLPK Reference Manual in the glpk-doc package.
  • The GNU MathProg modeling language is described in a separate document in the same package.
  • Additional tips and hints are given on: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GLPK/Using_GLPSOL

like… she's giving ✨ well-documented ✨ and we love that for her.
