NAME

       malaga - natural-language word and sentence analysis

SYNOPSIS

       malaga [-morphology|-syntax] [-quoted] [-input input] project-file

DESCRIPTION

       Malaga  is  a development environment for natural-language grammars based on the Left-Associative Grammar
       formalism.  Malaga grammars can be used for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis.

       The program malaga is Malaga's user interface for analysing word  forms  and  sentences,  displaying  the
       results and finding bugs in a grammar.

       malaga requires the name of a language-dependent project-file as a command-line argument.

       If  no command line options are given, malaga starts in interactive mode, and you can enter commands.  If
       you are not sure about the name of a command, use the command help to  get  an  overview  of  all  malaga
       commands.

       If you want to quit malaga, enter the command quit.

       See info Malaga for details.

OPTIONS

       -h[elp]
              Print a help text about malaga's command line arguments and exit.

       -i[nput] input
              Analyse  a  single  word  or  sentence given as command line argument (only valid in morphology or
              syntax mode).

       -m[orphology]
              Start malaga in morphology mode.  In this mode word forms are read  in  from  the  standard  input
              stream  and  analysed  (one  word  form per line). The analysis result are written to the standard
              output stream.

       -q[uoted]
              The input lines to be analysed are quoted (only valid in morphology or syntax mode).

       -s[yntax]
              Start malaga in syntax mode.  In this mode sentences are read in from the  standard  input  stream
              and  analysed  (one  sentence  per  line).  The  analysis result is written to the standard output
              stream.

       -v[ersion]
              Print malaga's version number and exit.
