  [33X[0;0YInputs  a  commutative  diagram  [22XD[122X  of  [22Xp[122X-groups  and positive integer [22Xn[122X. It
  returns  the commutative diagram of vector spaces obtained by applying mod p
  homology.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YNon-prime  power  groups  can also be handled if a prime [22Xp[122X is entered as the
  third  argument.  Integral  homology can be obtained by setting [22Xp=0[122X. For [22Xp=0[122X
  the result is a diagram of groups.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YA  particular resolution algorithm, such as ResolutionNilpotentGroup, can be
  entered   as   a   fourth   argument.   For   positive   [22Xp[122X  the  default  is
  ResolutionPrimePowerGroup. For [22Xp=0[122X the default is ResolutionFiniteGroup.[133X

  triple  [22X[k,l,m][122X  where [22Xk[122X is the dimension of the source of the induced mod [22Xp[122X
  homology  map  in  degree  [22Xn[122X,  [22Xl[122X is the dimension of the image, and [22Xm[122X is the
