$Id$ Introduction ============ prune reads directed graphs in the same format used by dot(1) and removes subgraphs rooted at nodes specified on the commandline via options. These nodes themselves will not be removed, but can be given attributes so that they can be easily located by a graph stream editor such as gvpr(1). dot and gvpr are part of graphviz (http://www.graphviz.org), a graph processing software by AT&T. Installation ============ 1. Get the graphviz sources and compile them. You don't have to install graphviz. Make sure that you comply with the graphviz license terms. 2. make GRAPHVIZ_DIR= 3. make install 4. RTFM (Read The Fine Manual) License Terms ============= Prune uses components of the graphviz software by statically linking graphviz libraries. This requires that you have to follow the graphviz license terms on top of mine if you want to use prune. Prune's license terms are in the source code. Enjoy, Marcus Harnisch
