NAME

       stemwords - Snowball word stemming utility

DESCRIPTION

       stemwords  [-l  language] [-i input file] [-o output file] [-c character encoding] [-p[2]]
       [-h]

       The input file consists of a list of words to be stemmed, one per line.  Words  should  be
       in  lower  case, but (for English) A-Z letters are mapped to their a-z equivalents anyway.
       If omitted, stdin is used.

       If -c is given, the argument is the character encoding of the input and output files.   If
       it is omitted, the UTF-8 encoding is used.

       If  -p  is  given the output file consists of each word of the input file followed by "->"
       followed by its stemmed equivalent.  If -p2 is given the  output  file  is  a  two  column
       layout  containing  the input words in the first column and the stemmed equivalents in the
       second column.  Otherwise, the output file consists of the stemmed words, one per line.
