NAME

       lt-comp — augmented letter transducer compiler for Apertium

SYNOPSIS

       lt-comp [-a | -v | -l | -r | -m | -h] lr | rl dictionary_file output_file [acx_file]

DESCRIPTION

       lt-comp  is  the application responsible for compiling dictionaries used by lt-proc(1) in Apertium into a
       compact and efficient representation  (a  class  of  finite-state  transducers  called  augmented  letter
       transducers).

OPTIONS

       -a, --alt
               Sets the value of the alt attribute to use in compilation.

               Note that if no value is set, all entries containing an alt attribute are omitted.

       -v, --var
               Sets  the  value  of  the  v  attribute  to  use  in  compilation.  This should only be used with
               monodixes; for bidixes, see -l and -r.

               Note that if no value is set,  all  entries  containing  a  v  attribute  are  considered  to  be
               left-to-right.

       -l, --var-left
               Sets  the value of the vl attribute for use in compilation of bidixes.  “Left” here refers to the
               side of the dictionary, so this option is only valid in rl mode.

       -r, --var-right
               Sets the value of the vr attribute for use in compilation of bidixes.  “Right” here refers to the
               side of the dictionary, so this option is only valid in lr mode.

       -m, --keep-boundaries
               Keep any morpheme boundaries defined by the '<m/>' symbol

       -H, --hfst
               expect HFST symbols

       -S, --no-split
               don't attempt to split into word and punctuation transducers

       -j, --jobs
               Parallelise minimisation by using one cpu core per section. By default, this also creates  a  new
               section  after  50.000  entries. You can override this number by setting the environment variable
               LT_MAX_SECTION_ENTRIES to some number. If set to 0, sections are never split (but kept exactly as
               in the dix file). You can also set the environment  variable  LT_JOBS=true  if  you  always  want
               parallel minimisation even if lt-comp was called without this option.

       -h, --help
               Prints a short help message.

       lr      The resulting transducer will process dictionary entries left-to-right.

       rl      The resulting transducer will process dictionary entries right-to-left.

FILES

       dictionary_file
               The input dictionary.

       output_file
               The compiled dictionary (a finite state transducer).

       acx_file
               Optional XML file of equivalent characters in monodices.
