NAME

       lt-comp - This application is part of the lexical processing modules and tools ( lttoolbox
       )

       This   tool   is   part   of    the    apertium    machine    translation    architecture:
       http://www.apertium.org.

SYNOPSIS

       lt-comp [ -a | -v | -l | -r | -h ] [ lr | rl ] dictionary_file output_file [acx_file]

       lt-comp  [ --alt | --var | --var-left | --var-right | --help ] [ lr | rl ] dictionary_file
       output_file [acx_file]

DESCRIPTION

       lt-comp Is the application responsible  of  compiling  dictionaries  used  by  lt-proc  in
       Apertium  into a compact and efficient representation (a class of finite-state transducers
       called augmented letter transducers).

OPTIONS

       -a, --alt
              Sets the value of the alt attribute to use in compilation.

              Note that if no value is set, all entries containing an alt attribute are omitted.

       -v, --var
              Sets the value of the v attribute to use in compilation.  This should only be  used
              with monodixes; for bidixes, see -l and -r.

              Note  that  if no value is set, all entries containing a v attribute are considered
              to be left-to-right.

       -l, --var-left
              Sets the value of the vl attribute for use in compilation of bidixes.  "Left"  here
              refers to the side of the dictionary, so this option is only valid in rl mode.

       -r, --var-right
              Sets the value of the vr attribute for use in compilation of bidixes.  "Right" here
              refers to the side of the dictionary, so this option is only valid in lr mode.

       -h, --help
              Prints a short help message

       lr     The resulting transducer will process dictionary entries left-to-right.

       rl     The resulting transducer will process dictionary entries right-to-left.

FILES

       dictionary_file The input dictionary.

       output_file The compiled dictionary (a finite state transducer).

       acx_file Optional XML file of equivalent characters in monodices.
