-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

Fst2strings options:

-n, --max-strings=NSTR

print at most NSTR strings

-N, --nbest=NBEST

print at most NBEST best strings

-r, --random=NRAND

print at most NRAND random strings

-c, --cycles=NCYC

follow cycles at most NCYC times

-w, --print-weights

display the weight for each string

-S, --print-separator

print separator "--" after each transducer

-e, --epsilon-format=EPS

print epsilon as EPS

-X, --xfst=VARIABLE

toggle xfst compatibility option VARIABLE

Ignore paths if:

-b, --beam=B

output string weight not within B from the weight of the best output string

-l, --max-in-length=MIL

input string longer than MIL

-L, --max-out-length=MOL

output string longer than MOL

-p, --in-prefix=OPREFIX

input string not beginning with IPREFIX

-P, --out-prefix=OPREFIX

output string not beginning with OPREFIX

-u, --in-exclude=IXSTR

input string containing IXSTR

-U, --out-exclude=OXST

output string containing OXSTR

If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used. Format of result depends on format of INFILE If all NSTR, NBEST and NCYC are omitted, all possible paths are printed: NSTR, NBEST and NCYC default to infinity. NBEST overrides NSTR and NCYC NRAND overrides NBEST, NSTR and NCYC B must be a non-negative float If EPS is not given, default is empty string. Numeric options are parsed with strtod(3). Xfst variables supported are { obey-flags, print-flags, print-pairs, print-space, quote-special }.

Known bugs:

Does not work correctly for hfst optimized lookup format.
