.SH NAME
ltscompare \- compare two LTSs
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ltscompare
[\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIINFILE1\fR] INFILE2
.SH DESCRIPTION
Determine whether or not the labelled transition systems (LTSs) in INFILE1 and 
INFILE2 are related by some equivalence or preorder. If INFILE1 is not 
supplied, stdin is used.

The input formats are determined by the contents of INFILE1 and INFILE2. 
Options --in1 and --in2 can be used to force the input format of INFILE1 and 
INFILE2, respectively. The supported formats are:
  'aut' for the Aldebaran format (CADP),
  'dot' for the GraphViz format (no longer supported as input format),
  'fsm' for the Finite State Machine format, or
  'lts' for the mCRL2 LTS format
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fIOPTION\fR can be any of the following:
.TP
\fB-c\fR, \fB--counter-example\fR
generate counter example traces if the input lts\&'s are not equivalent
.TP
\fB-e\fR\fINAME)\fR, \fB--equivalence\fR=\fINAME)\fR
use equivalence NAME (not allowed in combination with -p/--preorder):
\&'none\&' identity equivalence (default)
\&'bisim\&' strong bisimilarity
\&'branching-bisim\&' branching bisimilarity
\&'dpbranching-bisim\&' divergence preserving branching bisimilarity
\&'weak-bisim\&' weak bisimilarity
\&'dpweak-bisim\&' divergence preserving weak bisimilarity
\&'sim\&' strong simulation equivalence
\&'trace\&' strong trace equivalence
\&'weak-trace\&' weak trace equivalence
.TP
\fB-i\fR\fIFORMAT\fR, \fB--in1\fR=\fIFORMAT\fR
use FORMAT as the format for INFILE1 (or stdin)
.TP
\fB-j\fR\fIFORMAT\fR, \fB--in2\fR=\fIFORMAT\fR
use FORMAT as the format for INFILE2
.TP
\fB-p\fR\fINAME\fR, \fB--preorder\fR=\fINAME\fR
use preorder NAME (not allowed in combination with -e/--equivalence):
\&'unknown\&' unknown preorder (default)
\&'sim\&' strong simulation preorder
\&'trace\&' strong trace preorder
\&'weak-trace\&' weak trace preorder
.TP
\fB--tau\fR=\fIACTNAMES\fR
consider actions with a name in the comma separated list ACTNAMES to be 
internal (tau) actions in addition to those defined as such by the input
.TP
\fB--timings\fR[=\fIFILE\fR]
append timing measurements to FILE\&. Measurements are written to standard error 
if no FILE is provided
.TP
Standard options:
.TP
\fB-q\fR, \fB--quiet\fR
do not display warning messages
.TP
\fB-v\fR, \fB--verbose\fR
display short intermediate messages
.TP
\fB-d\fR, \fB--debug\fR
display detailed intermediate messages
.TP
\fB--log-level\fR=\fILEVEL\fR
display intermediate messages up to and including level
.TP
\fB-h\fR, \fB--help\fR
display help information
.TP
\fB--version\fR
display version information
