SYNOPSIS

       hfst-xfst [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

       Compile XFST scripts or execute XFST commands interactively

   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

   Xfst-specific options:
       -e, --execute=CMD
              Execute command CMD on startup

       -E, --execute-and-quit=CMD Execute command CMD, and quit

       -f, --format=FMT
              Write result using FMT as backend format

       -F, --scriptfile=FILE
              Read commands from FILE, and quit

       -l, --startupfile=FILE
              Read commands from FILE on startup

       -p, --pipe-mode[=STREAM]
              Control input and output streams

       -r, --no-readline
              Do not use readline library for input

       -w, --print-weight
              Print weights for each operation

       -R, --restricted-mode
              Allow  read  and  write  operations  only in current directory, do not allow system
              calls

       Option --execute can be invoked many times.  If  FMT  is  not  given,  OpenFst's  tropical
       format  will  be  used.   The  possible  values  for  FMT  are  {  foma, openfst-tropical,
       openfst-log, sfst }.  Readline library, if enabled when configuring, is used for input  by
       default.  Input files are always treated as UTF-8.

       STREAM can be { input, output, both }. If not given, defaults to {both}.  If input file is
       not specified with -F, input is read interactively line by line  from  the  user.  If  you
       redirect  input  from  a  file,  use  --pipe-mode=input.  --pipe-mode=output is ignored on
       non-windows platforms.
