Found this binary in my Fedora install while trying to autocomplte bcompare. Running it with --help doesn't even say what it does. https://linux.die.net/man/1/bcomps says "biconnected components filter for graphs". What do I need that for? Why is it bundled with Fedora?
$ bcomps -?
Usage: bcomps [-stvx?] [-o] 
  -o - output file template
  -s - don't print components
  -t - emit block-cutpoint tree
  -v - verbose
  -x - external
  -? - print usage
If no files are specified, stdin is used
Mad respect for the developer having a [PhD in math](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/author/37299368000) from MIT and being a cited author, but a 101 in usability wouldn't hurt.
