acyclic: Make a directed graph acyclic by reversing some edges.

acyclic

$ acyclic ${path-to-input-gv} > ${path-to-output-gv}

try on your machine

This command is using the "acyclic" program to analyze a graph, represented in the input file specified by ${path-to-input-gv}, and generate an output file specified by ${path-to-output-gv}.

Specifically, "acyclic" is a tool used to detect and remove cycles from directed graphs. It is commonly used in the field of graph theory to analyze and manipulate graph structures. The input file ${path-to-input-gv} is expected to be in the Graphviz format, which is a plain text language for describing graphs.

The > symbol is used for output redirection, which means the result of the acyclic command will be sent to the file specified by ${path-to-output-gv}. If the output file already exists, it will be overwritten.

Overall, this command is using the acyclic program to analyze a graph in the Graphviz format, and the resulting output will be saved in the specified output file.
