.SH NAME
fst-infl2-daemon \- morphological analysers
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B fst-infl2-daemon [ options ]
.I <socket-no>
.I file
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-t file
Read an alternative transducer from
.I file
and use it if the main transducer fails to find an analysis. By
iterating this option, a cascade of transducers may be tried to find
an analysis.
.TP
.B \-b
Print surface and analysis symbols. (fst-infl2 only)
.TP
.B \-n
Print multi-character symbols without the enclosing angle brackets.
(fst-infl only)
.TP
.B \-d
The analyses are symbolically disambiguated by returning only analyses
with a minimal number of morphemes. This option requires that morpheme
boundaries are marked with the tag <X>. If no <X> tag is found in the
analysis string, then the program (basically) counts the number of
multi-character symbols consisting entirely of upper-case characters
and uses this count for disambiguation. The latter heuristic was
developed for the German SMOR morphology. (This option is only
available with fst-infl2 and fst-infl3.)
.TP
.B \-e n
If no regular analysis is found, do robust matching and print analyses
with up to
.I n
edit errors. The set of edit operations currently includes
replacement, insertion and deletion. Each operation has currently a
fixed error weight of 1. (fst-infl2 only)
.TP
.B \-% f
Disambiguates the analyses statistically and prints the most likely
analyses with at least f % of the total probability mass of the
analyses. The transducer weights are read from a file obtained by
appending
.I .prob
to the name of the transducer file. The weight files are created with
.I fst-train. 
(fst-infl2 only)
.TP
.B \-p
Print the probability of each analysis. (fst-infl2 only)
.TP
.B \-c
use this option if the transducer was compiled on a computer with a
different endianness. If you have a transducer which was compiled
on a Sparc computer and you want to use it on a Pentium, you need to
use this option. (fst-infl2 only)
.TP
.B \-q
Suppress status messages.
.TP
.B \-h
Print usage information.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I fst-infl2-daemon
is similar to
.I fst-infl2
but but reads and writes from/to a socket. 
.SH BUGS
No bugs are known so far.
