%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer  N_NODE, the number of nodes in the graph.
%    N_NODE must be positive.
%
%    Input, integer N_EDGE, the number of edges in the graph.
%    N_EDGE must be positive.
%
%    Input, integer T(2,N_EDGE), describes the edges of the tree
%    as pairs of nodes.
%
%    Output, integer IERROR, error flag.
%    -1, N_NODE is not positive.
%    -2, N_EDGE is not positive.
%    0, no error.
%    I, edge T(1,I), T(2,I) is illegal.
