gml2gv: Convert a graph from `gml` to `gv` format.
$ gml2gv -o ${output-gv} ${input-gml}
try on your machine

The command "gml2gv" is a command-line tool used to convert a GML (Graph Modeling Language) file to a Graphviz (graph visualization software) file format.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "gml2gv": This is the name of the command or executable that will be executed.
  • "-o": This option specifies the output file for the converted file.
  • "${output-gv}": This is a placeholder for the value of the output file name or path. It will be replaced with the actual value when the command is executed.
  • "${input-gml}": This is another placeholder for the input file name or path. It will also be replaced with the actual value when the command is executed.

In summary, the command is telling the "gml2gv" tool to convert a GML file to a Graphviz file format and save it as the specified output file. The names or paths of the input GML file and output Graphviz file are placeholders to be replaced with the actual values before executing the command.
