NAME

     lt-comp — augmented letter transducer compiler for Apertium

SYNOPSIS

     lt-comp [-a | -v | -l | -r | -m | -h] lr | rl dictionary_file output_file [acx_file]

DESCRIPTION

     lt-comp is the application responsible for compiling dictionaries used by lt-proc(1) in
     Apertium into a compact and efficient representation (a class of finite-state transducers
     called augmented letter transducers).

OPTIONS

     -a, --alt
             Sets the value of the alt attribute to use in compilation.

             Note that if no value is set, all entries containing an alt attribute are omitted.

     -v, --var
             Sets the value of the v attribute to use in compilation.  This should only be used
             with monodixes; for bidixes, see -l and -r.

             Note that if no value is set, all entries containing a v attribute are considered to
             be left-to-right.

     -l, --var-left
             Sets the value of the vl attribute for use in compilation of bidixes.  “Left” here
             refers to the side of the dictionary, so this option is only valid in rl mode.

     -r, --var-right
             Sets the value of the vr attribute for use in compilation of bidixes.  “Right” here
             refers to the side of the dictionary, so this option is only valid in lr mode.

     -m, --keep-boundaries
             Keep any morpheme boundaries defined by the '<m/>' symbol

     -H, --hfst
             expect HFST symbols

     -S, --no-split
             don't attempt to split into word and punctuation transducers

     -j, --jobs
             Parallelise minimisation by using one cpu core per section. By default, this also
             creates a new section after 50.000 entries. You can override this number by setting
             the environment variable LT_MAX_SECTION_ENTRIES to some number. If set to 0,
             sections are never split (but kept exactly as in the dix file). You can also set the
             environment variable LT_JOBS=true if you always want parallel minimisation even if
             lt-comp was called without this option.

     -h, --help
             Prints a short help message.

     lr      The resulting transducer will process dictionary entries left-to-right.

     rl      The resulting transducer will process dictionary entries right-to-left.

FILES

     dictionary_file
             The input dictionary.

     output_file
             The compiled dictionary (a finite state transducer).

     acx_file
             Optional XML file of equivalent characters in monodices.
