fst-compare(1)

📦 version 1.7.0, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 NAME 💖

fst-compare — bestie, this is the lil icon that checks whether two transducers are equivalent. that's it, that's the job. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fst-compare file1 file2

like… two files, one vibe check. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. fst-compare takes a look at the two transducers chilling inside file1 and file2 and tells you whether they're equivalent. that's the whole entire plot. two transducers walk in, one of them answers the question "are y'all the same, fr fr?" 💅

no cap, that's it. nothing else happening here. it's giving minimalism. it's giving main character energy with a very short script. 🌸

💀 BUGS 💀

No bugs are known so far. ✨

not me being shocked too 😭 the devs really said "we ate and left no crumbs" and honestly? we believe them. zero known bugs. iconic behaviour. 🎀
