DESCRIPTION
gc
is a graph analogue to 
wc 
in that it prints to standard output 
the number of nodes, edges, connected components or clusters contained
in the input files.
It also prints a total count for
all graphs if more than one graph is given.

- -n
 - 
Count nodes.
 - -e

 - -U

By default, 
gc
returns the number of nodes and edges.
 
OPERANDS
