  NAME
      mcx - perform various computations on graphs and matrices

  SYNOPSIS
         mcx <mode> [mode-options] [mode-files]


  DESCRIPTION
      mcx  implements  a  variety  of computations on graphs and matrices. The
      first argument to mcx should be a mode, which is a  string  establishing
      the  type  of  computation to invoke. Each mode mode is described in the
      mcxmode manual page. The currently available modes are  convert,  diame-
      ter,  clcf,  q and ctty.  The convert mode is thus described in the mcx-
      convert manual page.

      Invoking mcx without arguments causes it to print out a list  of  avail-
      able modes with a short description of the type of command line expected
      by that mode.

      Invoking mcx with just a mode will print out a longer listing of options
      available  for  that  particular  mode.  Modes that are able to function
      normally without arguments can be invoked by adding the --nop  argument.

      Several  options  are  shared  between  all  mcx  modes. Note that these
      options are specified after the mode. See OPTIONS.

      The --version causes mcx to print out version and license information.

  OPTIONS
      These are options that pertain to all modes. They  should  be  specified
      after the mode argument.

      -h (synopsis)
      --help (synopsis)
        List available options.

      --nop (no-op)
        Not  an  option. This option has no effect then to increment the argu-
        ment count. This can be useful for mcx modes which are able  to  func-
        tion  without  any  options.  Such  a mode typically reads from STDIN,
        writes to STDOUT, and uses default settings. However, simply  specify-
        ing  a  mode  without  options leads mcx to output a list of available
        options for that mode. This  can  be  prevented  by  using  the  --nop
        option.

      -set (key=val)
        Sets  the  key key  to value val in the environment.  Some modes allow
        adjustment of settings in this manner.

      -progress <num> (progress interval size)
        Defines the interval that defines the progress frequency.

      --debug (turn on debugging)
        Turn debugging on.
