Finding all possible minimal covers

I have a relation schema R = {A, B, C} and the following functional dependencies:
- A → B
- A → C
- B → A
- B → C
- C → A
- C → B
How many different minimal covers can I derive from this relation schema? I have found the following, but I am not really sure if those are all:
- A → C
- B → C
- C → A
- C → B
Also, I am not sure if there is some rule on how to know if one has found all possible minimal covers.
Thanks a lot for any help!
