SYNOPSIS

       hfst-txt2fst [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Convert AT&T or prolog format into a binary transducer

   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

   Text and format options:
       -f, --format=FMT
              Write result using FMT as backend format

       -e, --epsilon=EPS
              Interpret string EPS as epsilon in att format

       -p, --prolog
              Read prolog format instead of att

   Other options:
       -C, --check-negative-epsilon-cycles
              Issue a warning if there are epsilon cycles with a negative weight in the transducer

       If  OUTFILE  or  INFILE  is  missing or -, standard streams will be used.  If FMT is not given, OpenFst's
       tropical format will be used.  The possible values for FMT are  {  foma,  openfst-tropical,  openfst-log,
       sfst, optimized-lookup-weighted, optimized-lookup-unweighted }.  If EPS is not given, @0@ will be used.

       Space in transition symbols must be escaped as '@_SPACE_@' when using att format.
