.SH NAME
clm_meet \- compute the intersection of a set of clusterings\&.

clmmeet is not in actual fact a program\&. This manual
page documents the behaviour and options of the clm program when
invoked in mode \fImeet\fP\&. The options \fB-h\fP, \fB--apropos\fP,
\fB--version\fP, \fB-set\fP, \fB--nop\fP are accessible
in all \fBclm\fP modes\&. They are described
in the \fBclm\fP manual page\&.
.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBclm meet\fP
\fB[-o\fP fname (\fIoutput file name\fP)\fB]\fP
\fB[-h\fP (\fIprint synopsis, exit\fP)\fB]\fP
\fB[--apropos\fP (\fIprint synopsis, exit\fP)\fB]\fP
\fB[--version\fP (\fIprint version, exit\fP)\fB]\fP

.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBclm meet\fP computes the intersection of a set of clusterings, that is,
the largest clustering that is a subclustering of all the clusterings
in the set\&. It stores the intersection (or meet) in the argument
to the \fB-o\fP flag, which must be the first option given\&.
All remaining arguments are interpreted as names of files containing
clusterings in mcl format (see \fBmcxio(5)\fP), which must all
pertain to a set of the same cardinality\&.

This utility can be useful in measuring (in conjunction with
\fBclm\ \&dist\fP) the consistency of a set of clusterings at different
levels of granularity \- if the meet of all those clusterings is close to
being a subclustering of each of them, consistency is good\&. See
\fBclm\ \&dist\fP for an example\&.
