Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility takes a list of pairs of node names representing directed arcs in
|
|
a graph and prints the nodes in topological order on standard output.
|
|
Input is taken from the named
|
|
.Ar file ,
|
|
or from standard input if no file
|
|
is given.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There must be an even number of nodes in the input.
|
|
Node names specified on the same line should be white space separated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Presence of a node in a graph can be represented by an arc from the node
|
|
to itself.
|
|
This is useful when a node is not connected to any other nodes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the graph contains a cycle (and therefore cannot be properly sorted),
|
|
one of the arcs in the cycle is ignored and the sort continues.
|
|
Cycles are reported on standard error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Turn on debugging.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Search for and display the longest cycle.
|
|
Can take a very long time.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Do not display informational messages about cycles.
|
|
This is primarily
|
|
intended for building libraries, where optimal ordering is not critical,
|
|
and cycles occur often.
