💖 ptest — ParMetis graph partition test 💖

okay bestie, so this is ptest, a lil' program from the ptest(1) manual — the General Commands Manual era. she's here to test graph partitioning and she's gonna do it with the ParMetis libraries. no cap. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ptest <graph-file>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically? This program tests partitioning of the file <graph-file> using the ParMetis libraries. That's the whole vibe. 💅

Several sample files are located in the parmetis-doc package in the /usr/share/doc/parmetis-doc/examples directory — so if you wanna try it out, the starters are literally right there, go off. 🎀

For more information, please see the documentation in the parmetis-doc package. That's where the lore lives. 📚

pro tip from the manpage itself: the parmetis-doc package is your bestie for docs AND for example files. two birds, one iconic package. 🫶
