.PP
If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or \-, standard streams will be used.
If FMT is not given, OpenFst's tropical format will be used.
The possible values for FMT are { foma, openfst\-tropical, openfst\-log,
sfst, optimized\-lookup\-weighted, optimized\-lookup\-unweighted }.
If EPS is not given, @0@ will be used.
.PP
Space in transition symbols must be escaped as '@_SPACE_@' when using
att format.
