.TH OCAMLDOT 1
.SH NAME
ocamldot \- generate dependency graphs of ocaml programs
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ocamldot
.I 
.RI "[options] <dependency-file>"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents briefly the
.BR ocamldot
command.
.PP
.B ocamldot
generates program dependency graphs for ocaml programs.  The
dependency graph output by ocamldot can be rendered by a separate
program, \fIdot\fR.
.P
Ocamldot is designed to process the output of ocamldep. A typical use would be 
.P
	ocamldep *.ml | ocamldot > dep.dot 
.P
or 
.P
	ocamldep *.ml > .depend
.br
	ocamldot .depend > dep.dot 
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-fullgraph 
Draw the full graph (default is to draw only the kernel) 
.TP
.B \-landscape 
Output in landscape format (default is portrait) 
.TP
.B \-lr 
Draw graph from left to right (default is top to bottom) 
.TP
.B \-r <r>
Use \fI<r>\fR as a root in the graph; nodes reachable from \fI<r>\fR
will be shown.
.P
The transitive kernel of a dag is the smallest subset of the dag whose transitive closure is the same as the transitive closure of the dag.
For example, the kernel of A->B, A->C, B->C is just the two edges A->B, B->C.
