NAME¶
vlatai - Lojban word analyzer
SYNOPSIS¶
vlatai [ -v ] [ word ]
DESCRIPTION¶
vlatai is a program that reads a list of Lojban words from standard
input, one word per line. In its usual mode, it writes a single output line
for each input line, advising of which kind of Lojban word the input line is.
If the input word has cmavo prefixed onto it, vlatai shows the individual
cmavo and the base word itself.
In the verbose mode (obtained using -v), the workings of the internal state
machines used for scanning the word are exposed. This may give some insight
into where an error lies on words that can't be parsed, especially if the
output is used in conjuction with the report files built during the
compilation process.
Note that vlatai is primarily a testbench for the word categorizer/splitter
inside jbofihe. vlatai is not fully supported or documented as a stand-alone
program.
