hfst-lexc \- =Compile lexc files into transducer
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B hfst-lexc
[\fI\,OPTIONS\/\fR...] [\fI\,INFILE1\/\fR...]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Compile lexc files into 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
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
Print verbosely while processing
.TP
\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
Only print fatal erros and requested output
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-silent\fR
Alias of \fB\-\-quiet\fR
.SS "Input/Output options:"
.TP
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-format\fR=\fI\,FORMAT\/\fR
compile into FORMAT transducer
.TP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output\fR=\fI\,OUTFILE\/\fR
write result into OUTFILE
.SS "Lexc options:"
.TP
\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-alignStrings\fR
align characters in input and output strings
.TP
\fB\-E\fR, \fB\-\-encode\-weights\fR
encode weights when minimizing (default is false)
.TP
\fB\-F\fR, \fB\-\-withFlags\fR
use flags to hyperminimize result
.TP
\fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-minimizeFlags\fR
if \fB\-\-withFlags\fR is used, minimize the number of flags
.TP
\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-renameFlags\fR
if \fB\-\-withFlags\fR and \fB\-\-minimizeFlags\fR are used, rename
flags (for testing)
.TP
\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-xerox\-composition\fR=\fI\,VALUE\/\fR Whether flag diacritics are treated as ordinary
symbols in composition (default is true).
.TP
\fB\-X\fR, \fB\-\-xfst\fR=\fI\,VARIABLE\/\fR
toggle xfst compatibility option VARIABLE.
.TP
\fB\-W\fR, \fB\-\-Werror\fR
treat warnings as errors
.PP
If INFILE or OUTFILE are omitted or \-, standard streams will be used
The possible values for FORMAT are { sfst, openfst\-tropical, openfst\-log,
foma, optimized\-lookup\-unweighted, optimized\-lookup\-weighted }.
VALUEs recognized are {true,ON,yes} and {false,OFF,no}.
Xfst variables are {flag\-is\-epsilon (default OFF)}.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
hfst\-lexc \-o cat.hfst cat.lexc
Compile single\-file lexicon
.TP
hfst\-lexc \-o L.hfst Root.lexc 2.lexc 3.lexc
Compile multi\-file lexicon
.SS "Using weights:"
.IP
LEXICON Root
cat # "weight: 2" ;    Define weight for a word
<[dog::1]+> # ;        Use weights in regular expressions
.PP
Using weights has an effect only if FORMAT is weighted, i.e.
{ openfst\-tropical, openfst\-log, optimized\-lookup\-weighted }.
