fst-parse2(1)

💅 fst-parse2 — the manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to fst-parse2(1) 🎀 — yes that's the section-1 manual page name, and yes we're gonna get through it together. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

fst-parse2 — it analyses your input with a whole pipeline of transducers. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fst-parse2 file1 [ file [ file ] ]

so like, you give it file1, and then optionally more files, and more files after that. the brackets are the "if you want" brackets, iykyk. 💫

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -t file — takes the transducer that's chilling inside file and slaps it onto the end of the pipeline. yes, the end. the pipeline grows, bestie. 🌱
• -h — prints the usage info. the "how do i even" button. 🙈
• -q — quiet mode. she's not gonna yap. 🤫
• -d — debugging mode. she's gonna yap a lot. 🔍

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so fst-parse2 is basically fst-parse's sibling — same family, different energy. 💜

the difference? fst-parse hands you a sequence of analysis strings. fst-parse2 instead prints the transducer you get from the composition of the input string with the argument transducer(s). not the analysis strings, the transducer. the thing itself. main character behaviour, honestly. 👑

✨ BUGS ✨

No bugs are known so far. 💀

not me writing that with a straight face. okay but fr fr, that's what it says — zero known bugs as of now. slay, i guess? ✨
