## DESCRIPTION

-

  transducer\_file \[input\_file \[output\_file\]\]

Perform a transducer lookup on a text stream, tokenizing on the fly Transducer must be in HFST optimized lookup format

- **-a**, **--analysis**

  Morphological analysis (default)

- **-g**, **--generation**

  Morphological generation

- **-n**, **--non-marked-gen**

  Morph. generation without unknown word marks

- **-d**, **--debugged-gen**

  Morph. generation with everything printed

- **-t** **--tokenize**

  Tokenize the input stream into symbols (for debugging)

- **-p** **--apertium**

  Apertium output format for analysis (default)

- **-C** **--cg**

  Constraint Grammar output format for analysis

- **-x**, **--xerox**

  Xerox output format for analysis

- **-e**, **--do-compounds**

  Treat '+' and '#' as compound boundaries

- **-k**, **--keep-compounds**

  Retain compound analyses even when analyses with fewer compound-boundaries are available

- **-W**, **--show-weights**

  Print final analysis weights (if any)

- **-r**, **--show-raw-in-cg**

  Print the raw analysis string as sub-reading in CG output

- **-N** N, **--analyses**=*N*

  Output no more than N analyses (if the transducer is weighted, the N best analyses)

- **--weight-classes** N

  Output no more than N best weight classes (where analyses with equal weight constitute a class

- **-c**, **--case-sensitive**

  Perform lookup using the literal case of the input characters

- **-w** **--dictionary-case**

  Output results using dictionary case instead of surface case

- **-z** **--null-flush**

  Flush output on the null character

- **-v**, **--verbose**

  Be verbose

- **-q**, **--quiet**

  Don't be verbose (default)

- **-V**, **--version**

  Print version information

- **-h**, **--help**

  Print this help message

- **-X**, **--raw**

  Do not perform any mangling to: case, \`\`superblanks'' or anything else!!!
