"""
**************
Adjacency List
**************
Read and write NetworkX graphs as adjacency lists.

Adjacency list format is useful for graphs without data associated
with nodes or edges and for nodes that can be meaningfully represented
as strings.

Format
------
The adjacency list format consists of lines with node labels.  The
first label in a line is the source node.  Further labels in the line
are considered target nodes and are added to the graph along with an edge
between the source node and target node.

The graph with edges a-b, a-c, d-e can be represented as the following
adjacency list (anything following the # in a line is a comment)::

     a b c # source target target
     d e
