+.SH "NAME"
+\fBcomponents\fR \- Find the connected components of a graph
+.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+\fBcomponents\fR \fIgraph_in\fR [SHOW]
+.
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+\fBcomponents\fR finds the connected components of the undirected graph given as input using the Depth\-First Search algorithm, and prints the size of each of them\. If the optional second parameter \fBSHOW\fR is provided, the program dumps on output also the list of nodes belonging to each component\.
+.
+.SH "PARAMETERS"
+.
+.TP
+\fIgraph_in\fR
+input graph (edge list) if equal to \fB\-\fR (dash), read the edge list from STDIN\.
+.
+.TP
+SHOW
+If the (optional) second parameter is equal to \fBSHOW\fR, the program will dump on output the list of all the nodes belonging to each connected component\.
+.
+.SH "OUTPUT"
+\fBcomponents\fR prints on the standard output the size of all the connected components of the undirected graph given as input, one per line:
+.
+.IP "" 4
+.
+.nf
+
+size_1
+size_2
+size_3
+\.\.\.\.\.
+.
+.fi
+.
+.IP "" 0
+.
+.P
+where \fBsize_1\fR is the size of the first component, \fBsize_2\fR is the size of the second component, and so on\. Notice that the sizes are not sorted\. If \fBSHOW\fR is given, the program shows the list of nodes belonging to each component, in the format:
+.
+.IP "" 4
+.
+.nf
+
+size_1: node_1 node_2 node_3 \.\.\.
+size_2: node_1 node_2 node_3 \.\.\.
+.
+.fi
+.

+.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+The following command:
+.
+.IP "" 4
+.
+.nf
+
+ $ components er_1000_5000\.txt
+ 1000
+ $
+.
+.fi
+.
+.IP "" 0
+.
+.P
+shows on output the size of the only connected component of the graph \fBer_1000_5000\.txt\fR\. In this case the graph has only one connected component (it is a super\-critical Erdos\-Renyi random graph with 1000 nodes and 5000 edges)\. A more interesting example can be obtained using the graph \fBer_1000_2000\.txt\fR:
+.

+.nf
+
+ $ components er_1000_2000\.txt
+ 985

+.
+.fi
+.
+.IP "" 0
+.
+.P
+In this case, the graph has 16 connected components: one of those components contains 985 nodes, while the other 15 components consist of isolated nodes\. If we want to know who are the nodes belonging to each connected component, we run:
+.
+.IP "" 4
+.
+.nf
+
+ $ components er_1000_2000\.txt SHOW
+ 985: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12\.\.\.\.\.
