🎀 NAME 🎀

apertium-interchunk — intermediate interchunk processor for Apertium ✨

---

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

apertium-interchunk [-tz] trules preproc [input [output]]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this one is an intermediate tool from the Apertium level 2 engine 🫶 you should literally never have to run it on its own, it's giving behind-the-scenes 🙈

it's the second transfer module of the Apertium level 2 transfer model 💅 it comes after apertium-transfer(1) and before apertium-postchunk(1), so it's right in the middle of the whole pipeline, main character energy fr 👑

what does it actually do? ngl it's the chunk manager 🦋 it handles interchunk processing, which means:

• chunk reordering 🔀
• changing the morphosyntactical features of chunks based on what their neighboring chunks are saying 👀
• generating new chunks out of thin air ✨

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -t — trace mode 🔍 (it lets you see what's happening, iykyk)
• -z — flush the buffer whenever it hits the null character 🧹

---

📁 FILES 📁

these are the kinds of files this command works with, bestie:

• trules — a rules file with the extension .t2x 📜
• preproc — a file with the extension .t2x.bin. it holds the result of preprocessing the trules file with apertium-preprocess-transfer(1) 🍓
• input, output — the input and output files. by default these are the standard input and standard output, so if you don't name them, it just goes through the terminal 💅
