If FMT is not given, OpenFst's tropical format will be used.
The possible values for FMT are { foma, openfst\-tropical, openfst\-log, sfst }.
Readline library, if enabled when configuring, is used for input by default.
Input files are always treated as UTF\-8.
.PP
STREAM can be { input, output, both }. If not given, defaults to {both}.
If input file is not specified with \fB\-F\fR, input is read interactively line by
line from the user. If you redirect input from a file, use \fB\-\-pipe\-mode\fR=\fI\,input\/\fR.
\fB\-\-pipe\-mode\fR=\fI\,output\/\fR is ignored on non\-windows platforms.
