```

## OPTIONS

*-w EXPORT\_FORMAT*

one of **text**, **obo** or **png**

### -use\_cache

If this switch is specified, then caching mode is turned on.

With caching mode, the first time you parse a file, then an additional file will be exported in a special format that is fast to parse. This file will have the same filename as the original file, except it will have the ".cache" suffix.

The next time you parse the file, this program will automatically check for the existence of the ".cache" file. If it exists, and is more recent than the file you specified, this is parsed instead. If it does not exist, it is rebuilt.
