butterfly
Composes a symbol's callers (upward wing) and callees (downward wing) into one combined chart in a single command.
Read this when you want both directions of a symbol call graph in one picture. butterfly joins its callers (upward wing) and callees (downward wing) into one chart, as dot, mermaid, text or json, in a single command.

Details
Composes a symbol's callers (upward wing) and callees (downward wing) into one combined chart in a single command. Reach for it when you want the full two-directional call graph of a symbol without running two separate queries.
Running it from the CLI
drag-lint butterfly --qname <X> [--depth N] [--format dot|mermaid|text|json] [--output F] --db PATH [--db ...]--qname <X> is the symbol to center the chart on. --depth N bounds how
far each wing walks. --format selects dot (the default), mermaid,
text, or json. --output F writes the chart to a file instead of
stdout. --db PATH may be repeated.
Reaching it in the IDE
No IDE surface -- this is a CLI-only feature. The IDE's "Call Graph
(Butterfly)..." menu item does NOT call this verb: it runs
reverse-calltree twice instead (once plain for callers, once with
--direction callees) and composes the two results itself into the dock's
Call Graph tab. See Call Graph (Butterfly) for that
path.
What it needs
An index IS required. The project's DB lives at
<project folder>\_D-RAG\<project file>.sqlite; run
drag-lint resolve-dbs --project <X.dproj> if unsure.
Example
Illustrative only:
drag-lint butterfly --qname CustomerOrder.TCustomerOrder.Total --db C:\Projects\MyApp\_D-RAG\MyApp.sqlite --format dotThis would produce one DOT chart showing both who calls Total and what
Total calls.
