nop: Pretty-print one or more graphs in canonical format.
$ nop ${path-to-input1-gv} ${path-to-input2-gv ---} > ${path-to-output-gv}
try on your machine

The command "nop ${path-to-input1-gv} ${path-to-input2-gv ---} > ${path-to-output-gv}" is a shell command that performs the operation of copying the contents of one or more input files to an output file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "nop" is the name of the command being executed. It might not be a standard command and could be a custom script or program.

  • "${path-to-input1-gv}" is a placeholder for the actual file path to the first input file in Graphviz format (.gv).

  • "${path-to-input2-gv}" is a placeholder for the actual file path to the second input file in Graphviz format (.gv). The "---" might indicate that more input files could be specified here.

  • ">" is a shell redirection operator that redirects the output of the command to a file rather than displaying it on the terminal.

  • "${path-to-output-gv}" is a placeholder for the actual file path where the output of the command should be saved, again in Graphviz format (.gv).

Therefore, when this command is executed, it will run the "nop" command (which is often a no-operation command or a placeholder script) with the specified input file(s), and the resulting output will be saved to the specified output file path.

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.
