NAME

6       mcv - mesh file converter
7

SYNOPSIS

9       mcv [options] [imfile] [omfile] [oxfile]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  mcv  program converts Scotch mesh files from and to other external
14       file formats.
15
16       File imfile is converted into mesh file omfile, with optional  geometry
17       data being put in geometry file oxfile, if it is available.
18
19       When file names are not specified, data is read from standard input and
20       written to standard output. Standard streams  can  also  be  explicitly
21       represented by a dash '-'.
22
23       When  the  proper libraries have been included at compile time, mcv can
24       directly handle compressed meshes, both as input and output.  A  stream
25       is  treated  as  compressed  whenever its name is postfixed with a com‐
26       pressed file extension, such as in 'brol.msh.bz2' or '-.gz'.  The  com‐
27       pression  formats which can be supported are the bzip2 format ('.bz2'),
28       the gzip format ('.gz'), and the lzma format ('.lzma').

OPTIONS

31       -h     Display some help.
32
33       -iifmt Set format of input mesh file, which can be:
34
35              bnum   Boeing-Harwell format. This is an elemental  matrix  for‐
36                     mat. Only square matrices are supported. In case the file
37                     contains several matrices, the num  parameter  allow  the
38                     user  to  provide  the  index  of  the matrix to convert,
39                     starting from 0. When the num parameter is not set, it is
40                     assumed to be 0.
41
42              s      Scotch mesh format.
43
44       -oofmt Set format of output mesh file, which can be:
45
46              s      Scotch  mesh  format. This is the only possible choice at
47                     the time being.
48
49       -V     Display program version and copyright.
