+.Nm tsort
+.Nd topological sort of a directed graph
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm tsort
+.Op Fl l
+.Op Ar file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Tsort
+takes a list of pairs of node names representing directed arcs in
+a graph and prints the nodes in topological order on standard output.
+Input is taken from the named
+.Ar file ,
+or from standard input if no file
+is given.
+.Pp
+Node names in the input are separated by white space and there must
+be an even number of node pairs.
+.Pp
+Presence of a node in a graph can be represented by an arc from the node
+to itself.
+This is useful when a node is not connected to any other nodes.
+.Pp
+If the graph contains a cycle (and therefore cannot be properly sorted),
+one of the arcs in the cycle is ignored and the sort continues.
+Cycles are reported on standard error.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl l
+Search for and display the longest cycle.
+Can take a very long time.
