mcv - mesh file converter
mcv [options] [imfile] [omfile] [oxfile]
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 compressed file
extension, such as in 'brol.msh.bz2' or '-.gz'. The compression formats which
can be supported are the bzip2 format ('.bz2'), the gzip format ('.gz'), and
the lzma format ('.lzma').

- -i?ifmt
- Set format of input mesh file, which can be:
- b?num
- Boeing-Harwell format. This is an elemental matrix format.
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.
- -o?ofmt
- 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.
