Problem

How to use the acyclic command: Make a directed graph acyclic by reversing some edges. Graphviz filters: acyclic, bcomps, comps, edgepaint, gvcolor, gvpack, mingle, nop, sccmap, tred, and unflatten. More information: <https://graphviz.org/pdf/acyclic.1.pdf>.

Solution

acyclic — Make a directed graph acyclic by reversing some edges. Graphviz filters: acyclic, bcomps, comps, edgepaint, gvcolor, gvpack, mingle, nop, sccmap, tred, and unflatten. More information: <https://graphviz.org/pdf/acyclic.1.pdf>.

Make a directed graph acyclic by reversing some edges:

acyclic {{path/to/input.gv}} > {{path/to/output.gv}}

Print if a graph is acyclic, has a cycle, or is undirected, producing no output graph:

acyclic -v -n {{path/to/input.gv}}
