gv2gml: Convert a graph from `gv` to `gml` format.
$ gv2gml -o ${output-gml} ${input-gv}
try on your machine

The command "gv2gml" is used to convert a Graphviz (.gv) file into a Graph Markup Language (.gml) file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "gv2gml": This is the executable or command name that is used to run the conversion tool. It is followed by specific options and arguments.

  • "-o": This option is used to specify the output file name or path. In this case, it is using a variable placeholder "${output-gml}", which suggests that the value of the output file name or path is provided externally.

  • "${output-gml}": This is the variable placeholder that should be replaced with the desired name or path of the output GML file. It could be something like "output.gml" or "path/to/output.gml", depending on your needs.

  • "${input-gv}": Similarly, this is another variable placeholder that should be replaced with the name or path of the input Graphviz (.gv) file. For example, if your input file is named "input.gv", you would replace this placeholder with "input.gv".

To use this command, you need to replace the variable placeholders with the actual file names or paths you want to use and then execute the command.
