Common options:

-h, --help

Print help message

-V, --version

Print version info

-v, --verbose

Print verbosely while processing

-q, --quiet

Only print fatal erros and requested output

-s, --silent

Alias of --quiet

Input/Output options:

-f, --format=FORMAT

compile into FORMAT transducer

-o, --output=OUTFILE

write result into OUTFILE

Lexc options:

-A, --alignStrings

align characters in input and output strings

-E, --encode-weights

encode weights when minimizing (default is false)

-F, --withFlags

use flags to hyperminimize result

-M, --minimizeFlags

if --withFlags is used, minimize the number of flags

-R, --renameFlags

if --withFlags and --minimizeFlags are used, rename flags (for testing)

-x, --xerox-composition=VALUE Whether flag diacritics are treated as ordinary

symbols in composition (default is true).

-X, --xfst=VARIABLE

toggle xfst compatibility option VARIABLE.

-W, --Werror

treat warnings as errors

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)}.

Using weights:

LEXICON Root cat # "weight: 2" ; Define weight for a word <[dog::1]+> # ; Use weights in regular expressions

Using weights has an effect only if FORMAT is weighted, i.e. { openfst-tropical, openfst-log, optimized-lookup-weighted }.
