ARG - file format for Attributed Relational Graphs

NAME

arg

DESCRIPTION

The ARG file format is used to represent an Attributed Relational Graph, suitable for input to the matcher(1) program. This is a binary format that is currently only used as an interface between the gf2arg(1) and matcher(1) programs. The format is not stable - it tends to change as the matching programs are updated. However, provided that the same versions of gf2arg(1) and matcher(1) are used, the details of the format are normally irrelevant. The current format can be deduced by looking at the ARG read and write routines in argio.c. and the definitions for t_arg and its components in match.h

BUGS

The file format is not protable accross different c.p.u.s. I.e. gf2arg and matcher must be run on the same architecture.
