sccmap: Extract strongly connected components of one or more directed graphs.
$ sccmap -S ${path-to-input1-gv} ${path-to-input2-gv ---} > ${path-to-output-gv}
try on your machine

The command you provided is:

sccmap -S ${path-to-input1-gv} ${path-to-input2-gv ---} > ${path-to-output-gv}

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  1. sccmap: This is the name of the command or executable that you are running. It is likely a specific tool or program installed on your system.

  2. -S: This is an option or flag that is being used with the sccmap command. The specific purpose of this option may vary depending on the tool you are using. Check the documentation or the help manual of sccmap for more information.

  3. ${path-to-input1-gv}: This is a placeholder for a file path. You are supposed to replace ${path-to-input1-gv} with the actual path to the input file 1 (in Graphviz format). Graphviz is a tool for creating diagrams or visual representations of data.

  4. ${path-to-input2-gv ---}: This is another placeholder for a file path. Similar to the previous placeholder, you should replace ${path-to-input2-gv ---} with the actual path to the input file 2 (in Graphviz format). It is possible that the --- is a typo or an indicator for an additional argument, but without more context, it's hard to determine its exact purpose.

  5. >: This is the shell redirection operator. It directs the output of the command to the specified file instead of the terminal. In this case, the output will be written to the file specified by ${path-to-output-gv}.

  6. ${path-to-output-gv}: Similar to the previous placeholders, this should be replaced with the actual path to the output file (in Graphviz format) where the command's output will be stored.

In summary, the command likely uses the sccmap tool with specific options and input file paths to perform some kind of analysis or mapping on Graphviz files. The output of the command will be written to the specified output file.

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.
