        If not specified, compute shortest paths using all nodes as source nodes.

    target : node, optional
        Ending node for path.
        If not specified, compute shortest paths using all nodes as target nodes.

    weight : None or string, optional (default = None)
        If None, every edge has weight/distance/cost 1.
        If a string, use this edge attribute as the edge weight.
        Any edge attribute not present defaults to 1.

    Returns
    -------
    path: list or dictionary
        All returned paths include both the source and target in the path.

        If the source and target are both specified, return a single list
        of nodes in a shortest path from the source to the target.

        If only the source is specified, return a dictionary keyed by
        targets with a list of nodes in a shortest path from the source
        to one of the targets.

        If only the target is specified, return a dictionary keyed by
        sources with a list of nodes in a shortest path from one of the
        sources to the target.

        If neither the source nor target are specified return a dictionary
        of dictionaries with path[source][target]=[list of nodes in path].

    Examples
    --------
    >>> G=nx.path_graph(5)
    >>> print(nx.shortest_path(G,source=0,target=4))
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
    >>> p=nx.shortest_path(G,source=0) # target not specified
    >>> p[4]
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
    >>> p=nx.shortest_path(G,target=4) # source not specified
    >>> p[0]
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
    >>> p=nx.shortest_path(G) # source,target not specified
    >>> p[0][4]
    [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

    Notes
    -----
    There may be more than one shortest path between a source and target.
    This returns only one of them.

    For digraphs this returns a shortest directed path. To find paths in the
    reverse direction first use G.reverse(copy=False) to flip the edge
    orientation.

    Returns
    -------
    length: int or dictionary
        If the source and target are both specified, return the length of
        the shortest path from the source to the target.

        If only the source is specified, return a dictionary keyed by
        targets whose values are the lengths of the shortest path from the
        source to one of the targets.

        If only the target is specified, return a dictionary keyed by
        sources whose values are the lengths of the shortest path from one
        of the sources to the target.

        If neither the source nor target are specified return a dictionary
        of dictionaries with path[source][target]=L, where L is the length
        of the shortest path from source to target.

    Raises
    ------
    NetworkXNoPath
        If no path exists between source and target.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> G=nx.path_graph(5)
    >>> print(nx.shortest_path_length(G,source=0,target=4))
    4
    >>> p=nx.shortest_path_length(G,source=0) # target not specified
    >>> p[4]
    4
    >>> p=nx.shortest_path_length(G,target=4) # source not specified
    >>> p[0]
    4
    >>> p=nx.shortest_path_length(G) # source,target not specified
    >>> p[0][4]
    4

    Notes
    -----
    The length of the path is always 1 less than the number of nodes involved
    in the path since the length measures the number of edges followed.

    For digraphs this returns the shortest directed path length. To find path
    lengths in the reverse direction use G.reverse(copy=False) first to flip
    the edge orientation.

    This algorithm uses Edmonds-Karp-Dinitz path selection rule which
    guarantees a running time of O(nm^2) for n nodes and m edges.


    Parameters
    ----------
    G : NetworkX nxgraph
        Edges of the nxgraph are expected to have an attribute called
        'capacity'. If this attribute is not present, the edge is
        considered to have infinite capacity.

    s : node
        Source node for the flow.

    t : node
        Sink node for the flow.

    capacity: string
        Edges of the nxgraph G are expected to have an attribute capacity
        that indicates how much flow the edge can support. If this
        attribute is not present, the edge is considered to have
        infinite capacity. Default value: 'capacity'.

    Returns
    -------
    flow_value : integer, float
        Value of the maximum flow, i.e., net outflow from the source.

    flow_dict : dictionary
        Dictionary of dictionaries keyed by nodes such that
        flow_dict[u][v] is the flow edge (u, v).

    Raises
    ------
    NetworkXError
        The algorithm does not support MultiGraph and MultiDiGraph. If
        the input nxgraph is an instance of one of these two classes, a
        NetworkXError is raised.

    NetworkXUnbounded
        If the nxgraph has a path of infinite capacity, the value of a
        feasible flow on the nxgraph is unbounded above and the function
        raises a NetworkXUnbounded.

    Parameters
    ----------
    G : NetworkX graph
        Edges of the graph are expected to have an attribute called
        'capacity'. If this attribute is not present, the edge is
        considered to have infinite capacity.

        attribute 'flow' which gives the flow on the edge.

    weight : None or string, optional (default = None)

    Returns
    -------
    length: int or iterator
        If the source and target are both specified, return the length of
        the shortest path from the source to the target.

        If only the source is specified, return a tuple
        (target, shortest path length) iterator, where shortest path lengths
        are the lengths of the shortest path from the source to one of the
        targets.

        If only the target is specified, return a tuple
        (source, shortest path length) iterator, where shortest path lengths
        are the lengths of the shortest path from one of the sources
        to the target.

        If neither the source nor target are specified, return a
        (source, dictionary) iterator with dictionary keyed by target and
        shortest path length as the key value.

    Raises
    ------
    NetworkXNoPath
        If no path exists between source and target.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> G = nx.path_graph(5)
    >>> nx.shortest_path_length(G, source=0, target=4)
    4
    >>> p = nx.shortest_path_length(G, source=0) # target not specified

    >>> dict(p)[0]
    4
    >>> p = nx.shortest_path_length(G) # source,target not specified
    >>> dict(p)[0][4]
    4

    Notes
    -----
    The length of the path is always 1 less than the number of nodes involved
    in the path since the length measures the number of edges followed.

    For digraphs this returns the shortest directed path length. To find path
    lengths in the reverse direction use G.reverse(copy=False) first to flip
    the edge orientation.
