       Extract the subgraph of all descendants of a specific node in the input graph.

       The --source option is mandatory and can be specified more than once.

       If  either  (or  both) of the positional arguments is/are omitted, then read GraphML or dot from standard
       input and/or write GraphML or dot to standard output, respectively.  Passing a '-'  as  either  argument,
       explicitly  specifies  to  read  the  input  from standard input and write the output to standard output,
       respectively.

       The input graph type will be determined automatically. If the output graph is given as a  filename,  then
       the output type will be GraphML if the filename ends with .xml and dot if the filename ends with .dot. If
       the output is done on standard output then it will happen in the same format as the input graph.

       Extract  the  subgraph  of  all  descendants  of a binary packages vertex with name "build-essential" and
       version "11.7".

         botch-graph-descendants --source name:build-essential --source version:11.7 --source type:bin < in.xml > out.xml

       or giving input and output as positional arguments:

         botch-graph-descendants --source name:build-essential --source version:11.7 --source type:bin in.xml out.xml

-h,--help
           Display help.

       --source=SOURCE
           This  option  picks the source vertex of which the descendants are computed. The SOURCE argument is a
           key/value pair (separated by a colon) of a graph attribute and its desired value. If  more  than  one
           vertex matches the given key/value pair, then the smallest (by node comparison) is chosen.

           The special key "__ID__" allows one to select the unique vertex identifier.

           This  option  can  be  specified  more  than  once. The final set of vertices is chosen such that all
           vertices match all key/value pairs. Multiple --source options thus form a logical  conjunction  (they
           are AND-ed together).

       -v,--verbose
           Be verbose.
