ccomps: Print the number of nodes, edges, and connected components in one or more graphs.
$ ccomps -v -s ${path-to-input1-gv} ${path-to-input2-gv ---}
try on your machine

The command "ccomps -v -s ${path-to-input1-gv} ${path-to-input2-gv}" is used to compute the connected components of a graph.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "ccomps" is the name of the command/utility being executed.
  • "-v" is an optional flag that stands for "verbose" mode. It provides more detailed output during the operation.
  • "-s" is another optional flag that stands for "strict". It specifies strict connected components, meaning that it does not count isolated nodes as components.
  • "${path-to-input1-gv}" is the path to the first input file in Graphviz DOT format. Graphviz is a popular graph visualization software, and DOT is its graph description language.
  • "${path-to-input2-gv}" is the path to the second input file, if there is any. This is an optional parameter. If not provided, the command will only work with the first input file.

In summary, this command will calculate the connected components of the graphs defined in the input files, and it may provide a verbose output while doing so. The strict flag ensures that only meaningful connected components are considered.
