NAME

       tslmendian - change the byte-order of sunpinyin's threaded back-off language model

SYNOPSIS

       tslmendian [option]

DESCRIPTION

       slmendian converts the binary language model files used by SunPinyin from big-endian to
       small-endian or vice versa.

OPTIONS

       -e endian
           Specify the output-lm-file's endian-ness. It can be le or ge. If not given, tslmendian
           uses the host's endian-ness.

       -v  Prints out the endian-ness of input-lm-file.

       -i input-lm-file
           Identify the input file of convert. Generally, this file is generated by slmthread.

       -o out-lm-file
           Identify the output file of convert.

NOTES

       The converted output file is equivalent to the input. But if you compare the output of
       tslminfo of both files, the ARPA file generated by tslminfo may different. This is due to
       the different precision in different machines.

       And due to uninitialized padding data in data structure, the checksum of the original data
       file may different from the converted-back file, even though they are identical from
       SunPinyin's point of view.
