  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 mcxconvert manual page.

      Invoking	mcx  without  arguments  causes  it  to  print	out a list of available 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  func-
      tion 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.

      Issuing mcx help mode will cause mcx to look for a manual page describing mode and display it if found. This requires that the MANPATH envi-
      ronment variable contains the directory in which the MCL-edge manual pages were installed. This will usually be PREFIX/share,  where  PREFIX
      is the path with which the software was configured.

  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 argument count. This can be useful for mcx modes which are able to function
	without any options. Such a mode typically reads from STDIN, writes to STDOUT, and uses default settings.  However,  simply  specifying  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.

      --version (show version)
	Show version.
