NAME

       hfst-fst2strings - =Display the strings recognized by a transducer

SYNOPSIS

       hfst-fst2strings [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

DESCRIPTION

       Display the strings recognized by 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

   Fst2strings options:
       -n, --max-strings=NSTR
              print at most NSTR strings

       -N, --nbest=NBEST
              print at most NBEST best strings

       -r, --random=NRAND
              print at most NRAND random strings

       -c, --cycles=NCYC
              follow cycles at most NCYC times

       -w, --print-weights
              display the weight for each string

       -S, --print-separator
              print separator "--" after each transducer

       -e, --epsilon-format=EPS
              print epsilon as EPS

       -X, --xfst=VARIABLE
              toggle xfst compatibility option VARIABLE

   Ignore paths if:
       -b, --beam=B
              output string weight not within B from the weight of the best output string

       -l, --max-in-length=MIL
              input string longer than MIL

       -L, --max-out-length=MOL
              output string longer than MOL

       -p, --in-prefix=OPREFIX
              input string not beginning with IPREFIX

       -P, --out-prefix=OPREFIX
              output string not beginning with OPREFIX

       -u, --in-exclude=IXSTR
              input string containing IXSTR

       -U, --out-exclude=OXST
              output string containing OXSTR

       If  OUTFILE  or  INFILE  is missing or -, standard streams will be used.  Format of result
       depends on format of INFILE If all NSTR, NBEST and NCYC are omitted,  all  possible  paths
       are  printed:  NSTR,  NBEST  and  NCYC default to infinity.  NBEST overrides NSTR and NCYC
       NRAND overrides NBEST, NSTR and NCYC B must be a non-negative float If EPS is  not  given,
       default  is  empty  string.   Numeric  options  are parsed with strtod(3).  Xfst variables
       supported are { obey-flags, print-flags, print-pairs, print-space, quote-special }.

EXAMPLES

       hfst-fst2strings lexical.hfst
              generates all forms of lexical.hfst

   Known bugs:
              Does not work correctly for hfst optimized lookup format.
