💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so bestie, this manual page gives you the brief rundown of the demonstration programs that live inside The Stanford GraphBase. And yes, this page was written specifically for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but like, anyone else can use it too, it's not gatekept 🫶) — and the reason it exists at all is that the original program doesn't have a manual page. Not me having to write one from scratch 💀

If you want a general intro to the GraphBase, it's chillin' at /usr/share/doc/sgb/abstract.dvi.gz, and there's more detail in the sgb(1) man page. But ngl, the actual details of these demonstration programs? Best found by reading the code, which lives in the directory /usr/share/doc/sgb-doc/examples. The code itself describes the appropriate options, so it's giving self-documenting king energy 👑

You can read that code directly, or you can turn it into a pretty-printable TeX form by using the cweave program. See the cweb(1) manpage for more on that. The programs are very understandable — the way that they're so readable? obsessed. Although a full introduction to them can only (currently) be found in Chapter 1 of the book by Donald E. Knuth entitled The Stanford GraphBase: A Platform for Combinatorial Computing, published jointly by ACM Press and Addison-Wesley (1993), ISBN 0-201-54275-7. Iconic academic literature moment 📚✨

and that's the whole SGBDEMOS(1) page, bestie — this is the Debian-written manual page for the sgb demos, straight from the General Commands Manual, and yeah the footer is just the page name again, no date drama. mwah, go read some code 💖✨🎀
