✨ cg-conv — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is the page for cg-conv(1) — that's the cg-conv tool, section 1 of the manual. yes, the tool, not the vibe. but also the vibe. 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

cg-conv — this application is part of ( cg3 )

This tool is part of the CG-3 constraint grammar system:

https://edu.visl.dk/cg3.html

like, it's not a random little script, it's part of the whole CG-3 constraint grammar situation. okay?? 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

cg-conv [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. just cg-conv and then OPTIONS. ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so cg-conv is the program you use to convert a text stream between various formats. that's literally its whole job and it is so good at it, no cap.

by default it tries to auto-detect the input format and then convert that into the CG-3 stream format. icon behavior, honestly.

and the best part?? it reads from stdin and outputs to stdout, so you can just pipe stuff in and pipe stuff out like a lil legend. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every single one of these, fr fr. no skipping. 🍓

  • -h, --help — shows this help
  • -?, --? — shows this help (yes, again, the question-mark version. twins. 💀)
  • -p, --prefix — sets the mapping prefix; defaults to @
  • -u, --in-auto — auto-detect input format (this is the default, bestie)
  • -c, --in-cg — sets input format to CG
  • -n, --in-niceline — sets input format to Niceline CG
  • -a, --in-apertium — sets input format to Apertium
  • -f, --in-fst — sets input format to HFST/XFST
  • -p, --in-plain — sets input format to plain text
  • -C, --out-cg — sets output format to CG (default, the one you get if you don't say anything)
  • -A, --out-apertium — sets output format to Apertium
  • -N, --out-niceline — sets output format to Niceline CG
  • -P, --out-plain — sets output format to plain text
  • -r, --rtl — sets sub-reading direction to RTL (default)
  • -l, --ltr — sets sub-reading direction to LTR
⚠️ heads up: input flags start lowercase and output flags start uppercase, so case MATTERS. -p is lowercase, -P is uppercase, and they are not the same thing. 🚨
