bcomps: Decompose one or more graphs into their biconnected components.

bcomps

$ bcomps ${path-to-input1-gv} ${path-to-input2-gv ---} > ${path-to-output-gv}

try on your machine

The command you provided is:

bcomps ${path-to-input1-gv} ${path-to-input2-gv} > ${path-to-output-gv}

This command uses the bcomps tool to compare two Graphviz files and redirects the output to a specified file.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

${path-to-input1-gv}: This represents the path to the first input Graphviz file. You should replace ${path-to-input1-gv} with the actual file path, including the file name and extension. For example, /path/to/input1.gv.
${path-to-input2-gv}: This represents the path to the second input Graphviz file. Similar to the previous argument, you should replace ${path-to-input2-gv} with the actual file path, including the file name and extension.
>: This symbol is used for output redirection. It tells the shell to redirect the standard output of the command (bcomps) to a file instead of displaying it in the terminal.
${path-to-output-gv}: This represents the path to the output file where the comparison results will be stored. Replace ${path-to-output-gv} with the desired file path and name, e.g., /path/to/output.gv.

In summary, the bcomps command takes two Graphviz files as input, compares them, and saves the comparison results to the specified output file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
