NAME

       verbiste - french conjugation system

SYNOPSIS

       g++ prog.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs libxml-2.0` -lverbiste-0.1

DESCRIPTION

       Verbiste  is  a  library  that can conjugate French verbs given in the infinitive form and
       analyze conjugated French verbs.  It is also a GNOME application and a GTK+ application.

       There are two commands, named french-conjugator(1) and french-deconjugator(1), which  make
       the library's functionality available from the command line and from scripts.

       The GNOME application should be available under the GNOME Office menu.  It can also be run
       from the command line by typing verbiste.  A verb can be passed as an argument to have the
       window display its conjugation automatically.

       If  the  GTK+  application  is  installed,  it can be run by typing verbiste-gtk.  It also
       accepts a verb as an argument.

EXAMPLES

       The library's source archive comes with Perl and  Java  example  programs  that  call  the
       french-conjugator(1) and french-deconjugator(1) commands.  There are also example programs
       that use the C application programming interface.

       The library and the commands use verb and conjugation knowledge bases that are represented
       as XML files that are installed with the library (typically in /usr/share/verbiste-0.1).

BUGS

       The FrenchVerbDictionary object is not completely destroyed when its destructor is called,
       in  order  to  avoid  the  excessively  long clean up time of its internal trie.  Only one
       instance of this class should be created and it  should  be  destroyed  when  the  program
       quits.
