  List Triangles in a Graph
}
\description{
  Given a list of edges between vertices,
  compile a list of all triangles formed by these edges.
}
\usage{
edges2triangles(iedge, jedge, nvert=max(iedge, jedge), \dots,
                check=TRUE, friendly=rep(TRUE, nvert))
}
\arguments{
  \item{iedge,jedge}{
    Integer vectors, of equal length, specifying the edges.
  }
  \item{nvert}{
    Number of vertices in the network.
  }
  \item{\dots}{Ignored}
  \item{check}{Logical. Whether to check validity of input data.}
  \item{friendly}{
    Optional. For advanced use. See Details.
  }
}
\details{
  This low level function finds all the triangles (cliques of size 3)
  in a finite graph with \code{nvert} vertices and with edges
  specified by \code{iedge, jedge}. 

  The interpretation of \code{iedge, jedge} is that each successive
  pair of entries specifies an edge in the graph.
  The \eqn{k}th edge joins vertex \code{iedge[k]} to vertex \code{jedge[k]}.
  Entries of \code{iedge} and \code{jedge} must be integers
  from 1 to \code{nvert}.

  To improve efficiency in some applications, the optional argument
  \code{friendly} can be used. It should be a logical vector of
  length \code{nvert} specifying a labelling of the vertices,
  such that two vertices \code{j,k} which are \emph{not} friendly
  (\code{friendly[j] = friendly[k] = FALSE})
  are \emph{never} connected by an edge. 
}
\value{
