  NAME
      clm meet - compute the intersection of a set of clusterings.

      clmmeet  is not in actual fact a program. This manual page documents the
      behaviour and options of the clm program when invoked in mode meet.  The
      options  -h, --apropos, --version, -set, --nop are accessible in all clm
      modes. They are described in the clm manual page.

  SYNOPSIS
      clm meet [-o fname (output  file  name)]  [-h  (print  synopsis,  exit)]
      [--apropos  (print  synopsis,  exit)]  [--version (print version, exit)]
      <file name>+

  DESCRIPTION
      clm meet computes the intersection of a set of clusterings, that is, the
      largest clustering that is a subclustering of all the clusterings in the
      set. It stores the intersection (or meet) in  the  argument  to  the  -o
      flag, which must be the first option given.  All remaining arguments are
      interpreted as names of files containing clusterings in mcl format  (see
      mcxio(5)), which must all pertain to a set of the same cardinality.

      This  utility  can be useful in measuring (in conjunction with clm dist)
      the consistency of a set of clusterings at different levels of granular-
      ity  - if the meet of all those clusterings is close to being a subclus-
      tering of each of them, consistency is good. See clm dist for  an  exam-
      ple.

  OPTIONS
      -o fname (output file name)
