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.
