NAME

       hfst-sfstpl2fst  -  =Compile  a  file  written  with  SFST  programming  language  into  a
       transducer.

SYNOPSIS

       hfst-sfstpl2fst (alias hfst-calculate) [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Compile a file written with SFST programming language into a 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 from INFILE

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

   String and format options:
       -f, --format=FMT
              Write result in FMT format

       If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used.  FMT must be  one  of
       the following: {foma, sfst, openfst-tropical, openfst-log}

EXAMPLES

              echo "[a-z]*" | hfst-sfstpl2fst -f foma > az.foma

              create  a  foma transducer accepting any number of consecutive characters between a
              and z, inclusive

              echo "a:b (a:<>)+" > ab.sfst-pl ; hfst-sfstpl2fst -f openfst-tropical \

       -i ab.sfst-pl -o ab.tropical

              create a tropical OpenFst transducer that accepts two or more consecutive 'a's  and
              maps them into string "b"
