.SH "NAME"
\fBmodularity\fR \- Compute the modularity of a partition of a graph
.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBmodularity\fR \fIgraph_in\fR \fIpartition\fR
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBmodularity\fR computes the value of the modularity function associated to a partition of the nodes of the graph given as input\.
.
.SH "PARAMETERS"
.
.TP
\fIgraph_in\fR
undirected input graph (edge list)\. If is equal to \fB\-\fR (dash), read the edge list from STDIN\.
.
.TP
\fIpartition\fR
The name of the file containing the association of nodes to communities (the partition of which one wants to compute the modularity)\. See \fIINPUT FORMAT\fR for details\.
.
.SH "INPUT FORMAT"
\fIgraph_in\fR is an edge\-list\. The file \fIpartition\fR is in the format:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

    node_0 community_0
    node_1 community_1
    \.\.\.\.
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
where \'node_0\' is the label of the first node and \'community_0\' is the community to which \'node_0\' belongs, and so on\.
.
.SH "OUTPUT"
\fBmodularity\fR prints on STDOUT the value of the modularity function associated to the partition of the graph provided as input\. The program also prints on STDERR one line in the format:
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf

    ## nc: NUM_COMMUNITIES
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
where \'NUM_COMMUNITIES\' is the number of communities in the partition provided as input\.
