NAUTY-CHECKS6(1)

💖 NAUTY-CHECKS6 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Nauty Manual, and today's main character is nauty-checks6 — she checks a file of graphs and, if you want, she fixes them too. lowkey a whole vibe. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

nauty-checks6 — check a file of graphs and optionally perform corrections 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

checks6 [-p#:#] [w] [infile [outfile]]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Check a file of graphs, optionally write corrected version. fr fr that's the whole job description and she does it flawlessly. 💅

now the flags, because obviously there are flags:

• -p#, -p#:# — specify the range of input lines you want to look at. the first line is 1, so no zero-indexed shenanigans here, we're being normal about it. 🍓
• -w — write corrected graphs. that's it, that's the whole flag. but heads up: the default is not to write, so if you just run her bare, she's checking and not touching anything. also, a header is written if there is one in the input. 🌸

not me running her without -w and then wondering why nothing got corrected... bestie she told you. she told you in the defaults. 😭

and that's the whole page, short and iconic, we love a concise queen. 🫶

this was nauty 2.8.9, dated September 2024 — and yeah, the manpage itself is literally called NAUTY-CHECKS6(1). slay, go check some graphs, mwah 💜✨
