# ocamldot(1)

generate dependency graphs of ocaml programs

## NAME

ocamldot - generate dependency graphs of ocaml programs

## SYNOPSIS

**ocamldot**
 
 \[options\] \<dependency-file\>

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the
 **ocamldot**
 command.
 **ocamldot**
 generates program dependency graphs for ocaml programs.  The
 dependency graph output by ocamldot can be rendered by a separate
 program, *dot*.
 Ocamldot is designed to process the output of ocamldep. A typical use would be 
\
 	ocamldep \*.ml \| ocamldot \> dep.dot 
 or 
\
 	ocamldep \*.ml \> .depend
\
 	ocamldot .depend \> dep.dot

## OPTIONS

**-fullgraph** 
 Draw the full graph (default is to draw only the kernel) 
 **-landscape** 
 Output in landscape format (default is portrait) 
 **-lr** 
 Draw graph from left to right (default is top to bottom) 
 **-r \<r\>**
 Use *\<r\>* as a root in the graph; nodes reachable from *\<r\>*
 will be shown.
 The transitive kernel of a dag is the smallest subset of the dag whose transitive closure is the same as the transitive closure of the dag.
 For example, the kernel of A-\>B, A-\>C, B-\>C is just the two edges A-\>B, B-\>C.
