.TP
\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-input\fR=\fI\,INFILE\/\fR
Read input transducer from INFILE
.TP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fI\,OUTFILE\/\fR
Write output transducer to OUTFILE
.SS "String and format options:"
.TP
\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-epsilon\fR=\fI\,EPS\/\fR
Map EPS as zero
.TP
\fB\-\-flatten\fR

If EPS is not defined, the default representation of 0 is used
Weights are currently not implemented.
