The breadth-first search begins at `source` and enqueues the neighbors of newly visited nodes specified by the `neighbors` function. Parameters ---------- G : NetworkX graph source : node Starting node for the breadth-first search; this function iterates over only those edges in the component reachable from this node. neighbors : function A function that takes a newly visited node of the graph as input and returns an *iterator* (not just a list) of nodes that are neighbors of that node. If not specified, this is just the ``G.neighbors`` method, but in general it can be any function that returns an iterator over some or all of the neighbors of a given node, in any order. depth_limit : int, optional(default=len(G)) Specify the maximum search depth sort_neighbors : function A function that takes the list of neighbors of given node as input, and returns an *iterator* over these neighbors but with custom ordering. Yields ------ edge Edges in the breadth-first search starting from `source`.

Examples -------- To get the edges in a breadth-first search:: >>> G = nx.path_graph(3) >>> list(nx.bfs_edges(G, 0)) [(0, 1), (1, 2)] >>> list(nx.bfs_edges(G, source=0, depth_limit=1)) [(0, 1)] To get the nodes in a breadth-first search order:: >>> G = nx.path_graph(3) >>> root = 2 >>> edges = nx.bfs_edges(G, root) >>> nodes = [root] + [v for u, v in edges] >>> nodes [2, 1, 0] Notes ----- The naming of this function is very similar to :func:`~networkx.algorithms.traversal.edgebfs.edge_bfs`. The difference is that ``edge_bfs`` yields edges even if they extend back to an already explored node while this generator yields the edges of the tree that results from a breadth-first-search (BFS) so no edges are reported if they extend to already explored nodes. That means ``edge_bfs`` reports all edges while ``bfs_edges`` only reports those traversed by a node-based BFS. Yet another description is that ``bfs_edges`` reports the edges traversed during BFS while ``edge_bfs`` reports all edges in the order they are explored.
