mcv(1) Scotch user's manual mcv(1)NAMEmcv - mesh file converter
SYNOPSISmcv [options] [imfile] [omfile] [oxfile]
DESCRIPTION
The mcv program converts Scotch mesh files from and to other external
file formats.
File imfile is converted into mesh file omfile, with optional geometry
data being put in geometry file oxfile, if it is available.
When file names are not specified, data is read from standard input and
written to standard output. Standard streams can also be explicitly
represented by a dash '-'.
When the proper libraries have been included at compile time, mcv can
directly handle compressed meshes, both as input and output. A stream
is treated as compressed whenever its name is postfixed with a com‐
pressed file extension, such as in 'brol.msh.bz2' or '-.gz'. The com‐
pression formats which can be supported are the bzip2 format ('.bz2'),
the gzip format ('.gz'), and the lzma format ('.lzma', on input only).
OPTIONS-h Display some help.
-iifmt Set format of input mesh file, which can be:
bnum Boeing-Harwell format. This is an elemental matrix for‐
mat. Only square matrices are supported. In case the file
contains several matrices, the num parameter allow the
user to provide the index of the matrix to convert,
starting from 0. When the num parameter is not set, it is
assumed to be 0.
s Scotch mesh format.
-oofmt Set format of output mesh file, which can be:
s Scotch mesh format. This is the only possible choice at
the time being.
-V Display program version and copyright.
EXAMPLE
Convert a Harwell-Boeing elemental mesh into a Scotch mesh.
