.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Tsort
|
|
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
|
|
Node names in the input are separated by white space and there must
|
|
be an even number of nodes.
|
|
.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 Ds
|
|
.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.
