+dijkstra(1) -- Compute the distance between one node and all the other nodes of a weighted graph
+======
+
+## SYNOPSIS
+
+`dijkstra` <graph_in> <node> 
+
+## DESCRIPTION
+
+`dijkstra` computes the distance (and the shortest paths) between a
+given node and all the other nodes of an undirected weighted graph
+provided as input. The program implements the Dijkstra's algorithm.
+
+## PARAMETERS
+
+* <graph_in>:
+    input graph (edge list) if equal to `-` (dash), read the edge list
+    from STDIN.
+
+* <node>:
+    The label of the node from which distances are to be computed
+
+## OUTPUT
+
+`dijkstra` prints on the standard output the distances betwen <node>
+and all the other nodes of the graph, in the format:
+
+    d0 d1 d2 d3.....
+    
+where `d0` is the distance to node `0`, `d1` is the distance to node
+`1`, and so forth. 
+
+## EXAMPLES
+
+The following command:
+
+          $ dijkstra US_airports.net 0
+          0 4784 5662 6603 11097 7470 4472 ....
+          $
+
+will show on output the distances between node 0 and all the other
+nodes in the graph `US_airports.net` (the US air transportation
+network).
