.TP
\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-openfst\-log\fR
Write output in (HFST's) log weight (OpenFST) implementation
.HP
\fB\-O\fR, \fB\-\-optimized\-lookup\-unweighted\fR Write output in the HFST optimized\-lookup implementation
.TP
\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-optimized\-lookup\-weighted\fR
Write output in optimized\-lookup (weighted) implementation
.TP
\fB\-Q\fR  \fB\-\-quick\fR
When converting to optimized\-lookup, don't try hard to compress
.PP
If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or \-, standard streams will be used.
Format of result depends on format of INFILE
FMT must be name of a format usable by libhfst, i.e. one of the following:
{ foma, openfst\-tropical, openfst\-log, sfst, xfsm
.IP
optimized\-lookup\-weighted, optimized\-lookup\-unweighted }.
.PP
Note that xfsm format is always written in native format without HFST wrappers.
