Contents
Description
gc is a graph analogue to wc in that it prints to standard output the number of nodes, edges, connected
components or clusters contained in the input files. It also prints a total count for all graphs if more
than one graph is given.
Exit Status
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 The -U or -E option was used, and a graph of the wrong type was encountered.

Operands
The following operand is supported:
files Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in dot format. If no files operand is specified, the
standard input will be used.
Options
The following options are supported:
-n Count nodes.
-e Count edges.
-c Count connected components.
-C Count clusters. By definition, a cluster is a graph or subgraph whose name begins with "cluster".
-a Count all. Equivalent to -encC-r Recursively analyze subgraphs.
-s Print no output. Only exit value is important.
