✨ fst-compact(1) ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about fst-compact — it's the little glow-up machine for your transducers 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

fst-compact — transforms transducers to the compact format 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fst-compact [ file [ file ] ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe, fr fr: fst-compact reads a transducer in standard format from the input, and then writes it back out in compact format to the output. that's it. that's the whole job. glow-down in size, glow-up in efficiency ✨

and the reason you'd even care? the compact format is required by fst-infl2. so if fst-infl2 is your main character and you're feeding it standard-format files, it's giving nope. run them through fst-compact first. periodt. 💅

💀 BUGS 💀

no bugs are known so far 🙈 — not me being suspiciously confident about that, but like, that's literally what it says. iconic behaviour, honestly. 👑
