✨ hfst-edit-metadata — the manual page 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the hfst-edit-metadata page from the User Commands corner of the HFST manual, dated August 2018. she's a little tool, she's a cute tool, and she names transducers. let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

hfst-edit-metadata — =Name a transducer

(yes the = is literally in there, i'm not editing it, i don't make the rules, i just report them 💀)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

hfst-edit-metadata [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Name a transducer. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you give it a transducer, you give it a name, she writes the name on it like a little sticker with a heart on it. iconic. 👑

✨ Name options: ✨

these are the ones that actually do the naming, the main character options fr fr:

  • -a, --add=ANAME=VALUE — add a property called ANAME with the value VALUE, or straight-up replace it if it's already there. new name who dis 💅
  • -p, --print[=NAME] — print the current PNAME. give her a NAME if you want, she'll work with it.
  • -t, --truncate_length=LEN — truncate the lengths of the properties you added down to LEN. yes, a little haircut ✂️, but for strings.

💖 Common options: 💖

the group-chat classics, every HFST tool has them:

  • -h, --help — print the help message. she tells you everything. communication queen.
  • -V, --version — print version info. lowkey just flexing.
  • -v, --verbose — print verbosely while processing. she's a yapper and you asked for it 🗣️
  • -q, --quiet — only print fatal erros and the output you actually asked for. (that's their spelling, not mine, i would never 😭 but i'm keeping it exactly as written, no cap)
  • -s, --silent — literally just an alias of --quiet. same energy, different name. twin behavior 👯

🌈 Input/Output options: 🌈

where the data comes in and where it goes out. the logistics, the lore, the pipeline:

  • -i, --input=INFILE — read the input transducer from INFILE
  • -o, --output=OUTFILE — write the output transducer to OUTFILE
If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing, or is -, standard streams will be used. so you can absolutely just pipe it and let the terminal handle the vibes. 🫶
The format of the result depends on the format of INFILE. and if PNAME is omitted, all values are printed — she spills everything, no secrets kept 💀

🐛 REPORTING BUGS 🐛
