NAME

       cmafihe - Lojban word glosser

SYNOPSIS

       cmafihe [ -l ] [ -b ] [ -w width ] [ -p ] [ -v ] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       cmafihe  is  a program that reads a piece of Lojban text.  It writes out the text, showing
       the rough English translation of each word.  It also shows the selma'o (category) to which
       each cmavo (grammar word) belongs.

OPTIONS

       -v     Show the program version and exit.

       -l     Produce  output  for  typesetting  with  LaTeX.   The  Lojban,  selma'o and English
              translation are shown on separate lines for each word (or closely related group  of
              words).

       -p     Output GNUStep property list containing vocabulary.  (Only available if cmafihe was
              compiled with the PLIST option).

       -b     Produce plain text output in 'block' format.

       -w width
              Set the line width for the -b option (default 80).

       The default is to write text to stdout.  The Lojban words are shown without brackets.  The
       selma'o information is in angle brackets.  The English translation is in square brackets.

       filename
              The  name  of  the file containing text to be parsed.  If omitted, the text is read
              from standard input.
