mcx - perform various computations on graphs and matrices

    mcx <mode> [mode-options] [mode-files]

mcx implements a variety of computations on graphs and matrices. The first argument to mcx should be a mode, which is a string establishing the type of computation to invoke. Each mode mode is described in the mcx mode manual page. The currently available modes are convert, diameter, clcf, q and ctty. The convert mode is thus described in the mcxconvert manual page. Invoking mcx without arguments causes it to print out a list of available modes with a short description of the type of command line expected by that mode. Invoking mcx with just a mode will print out a longer listing of options available for that particular mode. Modes that are able to function normally without arguments can be invoked by adding the --nop argument. Several options are shared between all mcx modes. Note that these options are specified after the mode. See OPTIONS. The --version causes mcx to print out version and license information. Issuing mcx help mode will cause mcx to look for a manual page describing mode and display it if found. This requires that the MANPATH environment variable contains the directory in which the MCL-edge manual pages were installed. This will usually be PREFIX/share, where PREFIX is the path with which the software was configured.
These are options that pertain to all modes. They should be specified after the mode argument.
-h (synopsis)

--help (synopsis)

List available options.

--nop (no-op) Not an option. This option has no effect then to increment the argument count. This can be useful for mcx modes which are able to function without any options. Such a mode typically reads from STDIN, writes to STDOUT, and uses default settings. However, simply specifying a mode without options leads mcx to output a list of available options for that mode. This can be prevented by using the --nop option.

-set (key=val) Sets the key  key to value val in the environment. Some modes allow adjustment of settings in this manner.

-progress <num> (progress interval size) Defines the interval that defines the progress frequency.

--debug (turn on debugging) Turn debugging on.

--version (show version) Show version.
