    minimum : bool (default: True)

        The name of the edge attribute holding the edge weights.

    keys : bool (default: True)
        This argument is ignored since this function is not
        implemented for multigraphs; it exists only for consistency
        with the other minimum spanning tree functions.

    data : bool (default: True)

        If True, yield edges `(u, v, d)`, where `d` is the attribute dict.

    ignore_nan : bool (default: False)
