Command-line interface for the Rust implementation of the [WebGraph framework]
for graph compression.
This crate provides the `webgraph` CLI tool with various subcommands for working
with compressed graphs. The tool supports:
- **Building** accessory data structures (Elias-Fano offsets, DCF)
- **Converting** graphs between formats (arcs, ASCII, endianness)
- **Transforming** graphs (transpose, simplify)
- **Analyzing** graphs (code statistics)
- **Running** algorithms (Layered Label Propagation)
- **Benchmarking** graph operations
Each module corresponds to a group of commands, and each command is
implemented as a submodule.
## Subcommands
- `analyze`: computes statistics on graphs;
- `bench`: benchmark graph operations;
- `build`: builds accessory graph data structures;
- `check`: checks coherence of graph files;
- `from`: ingests data into graphs;
- `perm`: creates and manipulates permutations;
- `run`: runs algorithms on graph;
- `to`: converts graphs between representations;
- `transform`: applies transformations to graphs.
## Separate Binaries
This crate also provides specialized standalone binaries:
- `webgraph-dist`: tools for computing graph properties based on distances,
including measures of centrality (HyperBall, ExactSumSweep);
- `webgraph-sccs`: computes strongly connected components;
- `webgraph-rank`: computes centrality measures on graphs.
## Environment Variables
- `RUST_MIN_STACK`: Minimum thread stack size (in bytes); we suggest
`RUST_MIN_STACK=8388608` (8MiB)
- `TMPDIR`: Where to store temporary files (potentially very large ones)
- `RUST_LOG`: Configuration for [`env_logger`]
