Name

bcg_labels - modify the labels of graphs encoded in the BCG format

Synopsis

bcg_labels [bcg_options] [-parse | -unparse] -scramble pattern input.bcg [output.bcg]

or bcg_labels [bcg_options] [-parse | -unparse] [-warning] action1 action2 ... input.bcg [output.bcg]

where each action in the list action1 action2 ... is either a "cutting action", defined as:

action ::= -cut [ -total | -partial | -gate ] cutting_filename

or a "hiding action", defined as:

action ::= -hide [ -total | -partial | -gate ] hiding_filename

or a "renaming action", defined as:

action ::= -rename [ -total | -single | -multiple | -gate ] renaming_filename

There may be as many cutting, hiding, and/or renaming actions as needed on the command line. Scrambling may not be combined with cutting, hiding, and renaming actions.

Description

This command modifies the labels of a BCG graph. It takes as input the BCG graph input.bcg and writes the resulting graph to output.bcg, replacing input.bcg if output.bcg is omitted.

This command applies to the labels of input.bcg either a scrambling operation, or cutting, hiding, and/or renaming operations specified by the list of actions given on the command line.

These operations are performed in the same order as the actions occur on the command line (the leftmost actions being applied first, and the rightmost ones being applied last). For instance, if bcg_labels is called with arguments -rename file1 -hide file2, renaming will be applied before hiding.

A dynamic library corresponding to input.bcg may be generated if necessary.

General Options

The following bcg_options are currently supported: -version, -create, -update, -remove, -cc, -tmp, -uncompress, -compress, -register, -short, -medium, and -size. See the bcg manual page for a description of these options.

Scrambling Option

-scramble pattern
Rename each label string (except the hidden label "i", which is kept as is) so as to remove any information contained in the string; in essence, scrambling replaces all label strings by unique numbers in the range 1..N, where N is the number of labels.

The pattern is a character string to be used as the format argument of the C function printf(). It should contain exactly one occurrence of "%d". Scrambling renames each label string into pattern, the "%d" of which being replaced by the unique integer that identifies the label. The pattern should not contain other %-arguments than "%d", such as "%c", "%f", etc. If needed, the "%" character can be specified as "%%".

Cutting, Hiding, and Renaming Options

-cut [-total|-partial|-gate] cutting_filename
Use the cutting rules defined in cutting_filename to cut the labels in input.bcg. See the caesar_hide_1 manual page for a detailed description of the appropriate format for cutting_filename.

The -total, -partial, and -gate options specify the "total matching", "partial matching", and "gate matching" semantics, respectively. See the caesar_hide_1 manual page for more details about these semantics. Option -total is the default.

-hide [-total|-partial|-gate] hiding_filename
Use the hiding rules defined in hiding_filename to hide the labels in input.bcg. See the caesar_hide_1 manual page for a detailed description of the appropriate format for hiding_filename.

The -total, -partial, and -gate options specify the "total matching", "partial matching", and "gate matching" semantics, respectively. See the caesar_hide_1 manual page for more details about these semantics. Option -total is the default.

-rename [-total|-single|-multiple|-gate] renaming_filename
Use the renaming rules defined in renaming_filename to rename the labels in input.bcg. See the caesar_rename_1 manual page for a detailed description of the appropriate format for renaming_filename.

The -total, -single, -multiple, and -gate options specify the "total matching", "single partial matching", "multiple partial matching", and "gate matching" semantics, respectively. See the caesar_rename_1 manual page for more details about these semantics. Option -total is the default.

Other Options

-parse | -unparse
Options -parse and -unparse can be used to control label parsing in output.bcg (see the bcg_write manual page for a technical discussion about label parsing). By default, or if option -parse is present, label parsing is enabled. If option -unparse is present, label parsing is disabled.

-warning
Option -warning, when set, suppresses all warnings concerning the patterns of the -cut, -hide, and -rename options that do not match any label of input.bcg (or of the graph derived from input.bcg by applying all preceding cutting, hiding, or renaming substitutions). See the caesar_mask_1 manual page for details about the CAESAR_REPORT_MASK_1() procedure. Not a default option.

Environment Variables

See the bcg manual page for a description of the environment variables used by all the BCG application tools.

Exit Status

Exit status is 0 if everything is alright, 1 otherwise.
