TSORT(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  TSORT(1)

NAME

     tsort -- topological sort of a directed graph

SYNOPSIS

     tsort [-l] [-q] [file]

DESCRIPTION

     tsort takes a list of pairs of node names representing directed arcs in a graph and prints the nodes in topological order on standard output.
     Input is taken from the named file, or from standard input if no file is given.

     Node names in the input are separated by white space and there must be an even number of node pairs.

     Presence of a node in a graph can be represented by an arc from the node to itself.  This is useful when a node is not connected to any other
     nodes.

     If the graph contains a cycle (and therefore cannot be properly sorted), one of the arcs in the cycle is ignored and the sort continues.
     Cycles are reported on standard error.

     The options are as follows:

     -l      Search for and display the longest cycle.	Can take a very long time.

     -q      Do not display informational messages about cycles.  This is primarily intended for building libraries, where optimal ordering is not
	     critical, and cycles occur often.
