NAME

       simstring - build database and find similar words

SYNOPSIS

       simstring [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  finds  strings  in the database (DB) such that they have similarity, in the
       similarity measure (SIM), no smaller than the threshold (TH) with queries read from STDIN.
       When  -b  (--build)  option  is specified, this utility builds a database (DB) for strings
       read from STDIN.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options  starting  with
       two  dashes  (`-').   A summary of options is included below.  For a complete description,
       see the Info files.

       -b, --build

       -d, --database=DB
              specify a database file

       -u, --unicode
              use Unicode (wchar_t) for representing characters

       -n, --ngram=N
              specify the unit of n-grams (DEFAULT=3)

       -m, --mark
              include marks for begins and ends of strings

       -s, --similarity=SIM
              pecify a similarity measure (DEFAULT='cosine'):

              exact     exact match

              cosine]   cosine coefficient

              overlap   overlap coefficient

       -t, --threshold=TH
              specify the threshold (DEFAULT=0.7)

       -e, --echo-back
              echo back query strings to the output

       -q, --quiet
              suppress supplemental information from the output

       -b, --benchmark
              show benchmark result (retrieved strings are suppressed)

       -v, --version
