SYNOPSIS

       hfst-xfst [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

       Compile XFST scripts or execute XFST commands interactively

   Common options:
       -h, --help
              Print help message

       -V, --version
              Print version info

       -v, --verbose
              Print verbosely while processing

       -q, --quiet
              Only print fatal erros and requested output

       -s, --silent
              Alias of --quiet

   Xfst-specific options:
       -e, --execute=CMD
              Execute command CMD on startup

       -E, --execute-and-quit=CMD Execute command CMD, and quit

       -f, --format=FMT
              Write result using FMT as backend format

       -F, --scriptfile=FILE
              Read commands from FILE, and quit

       -l, --startupfile=FILE
              Read commands from FILE on startup

       -p, --pipe-mode[=STREAM]
              Control input and output streams

       -r, --no-readline
              Do not use readline library for input

       -w, --print-weight
              Print weights for each operation

       -R, --restricted-mode
              Allow read and write operations only in current directory, do not allow system calls

       Option --execute can be invoked many times.  If FMT is not given, OpenFst's tropical format will be used.
       The  possible  values  for  FMT  are { foma, openfst-tropical, openfst-log, sfst }.  Readline library, if
       enabled when configuring, is used for input by default.  Input files are always treated as UTF-8.

       STREAM can be { input, output, both }. If not given, defaults to {both}.  If input file is not  specified
       with  -F,  input is read interactively line by line from the user. If you redirect input from a file, use
       --pipe-mode=input.  --pipe-mode=output is ignored on non-windows platforms.
