gvpack: Combine several graph layouts at the graph level, keeping graphs separate.
$ gvpack -g ${path-to-layout1-gv} ${path-to-layout2-gv ---} > ${path-to-output-gv}

The command "gvpack" is typically used in Graphviz, a graph visualization software.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "gvpack" is the command itself, used to pack graph layouts.
- "-g" is an option parameter that specifies the input graphs are to be concatenated instead of overlaid.
- "${path-to-layout1-gv}" is the placeholder for the path to the first input graph layout file.
- "${path-to-layout2-gv}" is the placeholder for the path to the second input graph layout file. You can potentially have more input graph layouts by adding more paths here.
- ">" is the output redirection operator, used to redirect the output of the command to a file instead of displaying it on the console.
- "${path-to-output-gv}" is the placeholder for the path where the output graph layout file will be saved.
Overall, this command takes multiple input graph layout files (${path-to-layout1-gv}, ${path-to-layout2-gv}, ...) and combines them into a single output graph layout file specified by ${path-to-output-gv}. The "-g" option ensures that the input graphs are concatenated rather than overlaid. The resulting output can then be used for various purposes, such as generating visual representations of graphs.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
