`svm-train' Usage
=================
Usage: svm-train [options] training_set_file [model_file]
options:
-s svm_type : set type of SVM (default 0)
0 -- C-SVC
1 -- nu-SVC
2 -- one-class SVM
3 -- epsilon-SVR
4 -- nu-SVR
-t kernel_type : set type of kernel function (default 2)
0 -- linear: u'*v
1 -- polynomial: (gamma*u'*v + coef0)^degree
2 -- radial basis function: exp(-gamma*|u-v|^2)
3 -- sigmoid: tanh(gamma*u'*v + coef0)
4 -- precomputed kernel (kernel values in training_set_file)
-d degree : set degree in kernel function (default 3)
-g gamma : set gamma in kernel function (default 1/num_features)
-r coef0 : set coef0 in kernel function (default 0)
-c cost : set the parameter C of C-SVC, epsilon-SVR, and nu-SVR (default 1)
-n nu : set the parameter nu of nu-SVC, one-class SVM, and nu-SVR (default 0.5)
-p epsilon : set the epsilon in loss function of epsilon-SVR (default 0.1)
-m cachesize : set cache memory size in MB (default 100)
-e epsilon : set tolerance of termination criterion (default 0.001)
-h shrinking : whether to use the shrinking heuristics, 0 or 1 (default 1)
-b probability_estimates : whether to train a SVC or SVR model for probability estimates, 0 or 1 (default 0)
-wi weight : set the parameter C of class i to weight*C, for C-SVC (default 1)
-v n: n-fold cross validation mode
-q : quiet mode (no outputs)

Hi, I'm working on SVC algorithm and I want classify my data to four classes (One or two dimension data).
How can I do this?
and furthermore what's the meaning of C-SVC and nu-SVC.
Please help me
thanks

you can just choose C_SVC and use RBF kernal, that's work fine to me
I just finished my points classification work ,I got four class.

Are the outputs quieted when using the -q parameter the probability outputs of being in a class? That's my understanding from the LIBSVM FAQ, but I wanted to confirm.
