+largest_component(1) -- Find largest connected component of a graph
+======
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+`largest_component` <graph_in>
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+`largest_component` computes the largest connected component of
+<graph_in>, and prints on STDOUT the corresponding edge list.
+
+## PARAMETERS
+
+* <graph_in>:
+    undirected input graph (edge list). If it is equal to  `-` (dash),
+    read the edge list from STDIN.
+    
+
+## OUTPUT
+
+The program prints on STDOUT the edge list of the largest connected
+component of  <graph_in>, in the format:
+
+        i_1 j_1 
+        i_2 j_2 
+        ....
