NAME

       mtst - test the consistency of source meshes

SYNOPSIS

       mtst [options] [mfile] [lfile]

DESCRIPTION

       The  mtst  program  checks,  in	a sequential way, the consistency of a Scotch source mesh and, in case of success, outputs some statistics
       regarding edge weights, node and element vertex weights, and node and element vertex degrees.

       Source mesh file mfile can only be a centralized mesh file. The resulting statistics are stored in file lfile.  When  file  names  are  not
       specified,  data  is read from standard input and written to standard output. Standard streams can also be explicitly represented by a dash
       '-'.

       When the proper libraries have been included at compile time, mtst can directly handle compressed meshes,  both	as  input  and	output.  A
       stream  is  treated as compressed whenever its name is postfixed with a compressed file extension, such as in 'brol.msh.bz2' or '-.gz'. The
       compression formats which can be supported are the bzip2 format ('.bz2'), the gzip format ('.gz'), and the lzma format ('.lzma',  on  input
       only).

OPTIONS

       -h     Display some help.

       -V     Display program version and copyright.

EXAMPLE

       Test the consistency of mesh brol.msh:

	   $ mtst brol.msh
