NAME

       fst-text2bin - converts a transducer from its text form to binary format

SYNOPSIS

       fst-text2bin text-file bin-file

OPTIONS

       -h     Print usage information.

DESCRIPTION

       fst-text2bin  is  a  tool  which reads a transducer which was stored in text form from the
       input file and write it in the binary format to the  output  file.  The  input  format  is
       identical  to  the output format of the fst-print command. The output format is equivalent
       to the standard output format of the fst-compiler program. The  programs  fst-compact  and
       fst-lowmem can be used to produce the other binary transducer formats.

BUGS

       No bugs are known so far.
