NAME

       hfst-fst2fst - =Convert transducers between binary formats

SYNOPSIS

       hfst-fst2fst [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Convert transducers between binary formats

   Common options:
       -h, --help
              Print help message

       -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

   Input/Output options:
       -i, --input=INFILE
              Read input transducer from INFILE

       -o, --output=OUTFILE
              Write output transducer to OUTFILE

   Conversion options:
       -f, --format=FMT
              Write result in FMT format

       -b, --use-backend-format
              Write result in implementation format, without any HFST wrappers

       -S, --sfst
              Write output in (HFST's) SFST implementation

       -F, --foma
              Write output in (HFST's) foma implementation

       -x, --xfsm
              Write output in native xfsm format

       -t, --openfst-tropical
              Write output in (HFST's) tropical weight (OpenFST) implementation

       -l, --openfst-log
              Write output in (HFST's) log weight (OpenFST) implementation

       -O, --optimized-lookup-unweighted Write output in the HFST optimized-lookup implementation

       -w, --optimized-lookup-weighted
              Write output in optimized-lookup (weighted) implementation

       -Q  --quick
              When converting to optimized-lookup, don't try hard to compress

       If  OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used.  Format of result depends on format
       of INFILE FMT must be name  of  a  format  usable  by  libhfst,  i.e.  one  of  the  following:  {  foma,
       openfst-tropical, openfst-log, sfst, xfsm

              optimized-lookup-weighted, optimized-lookup-unweighted }.

       Note that xfsm format is always written in native format without HFST wrappers.
