\fI\,(alias hfst-calculate) \/\fR[\fI\,OPTIONS\/\fR...] [\fI\,INFILE\/\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Compile a file written with SFST programming language into a transducer.
.SS "Common options:"
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Print help message
.TP
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Print version info
.TP

.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-silent\fR
Alias of \fB\-\-quiet\fR
.SS "Input/Output options:"
.TP
\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-input\fR=\fI\,INFILE\/\fR
Read input from INFILE
.TP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fI\,OUTFILE\/\fR
Write output transducer to OUTFILE
.SS "String and format options:"
.TP
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-format\fR=\fI\,FMT\/\fR
Write result in FMT format
.PP
If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or \-, standard streams will be used.
FMT must be one of the following: {foma, sfst, openfst\-tropical, openfst\-log}
.SH EXAMPLES
.IP
echo "[a\-z]*" | hfst\-sfstpl2fst \-f foma > az.foma
.IP
create a foma transducer accepting any number of consecutive
characters between a and z, inclusive
.IP
echo "a:b (a:<>)+" > ab.sfst\-pl ; hfst\-sfstpl2fst \-f openfst\-tropical \e
.HP
\-i ab.sfst\-pl \-o ab.tropical
.IP
create a tropical OpenFst transducer that accepts two or more
consecutive 'a's and maps them into string "b"
