✨ NAME ✨

hfst-info — show or test HFST versions and features 💅

(It lives in section 1 of the manual, aka the User Commands corner of the universe, and yes bestie, its whole personality is "tell me about HFST, or quiz HFST about itself." 🦋)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hfst-info [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, plot twist: hfst-info shows or tests HFST versions and features. That's the vibe. It's the friend who either tells you what's up with your HFST, or interrogates your HFST to make sure it's got the range you need. 🔥

💅 Common options:

  • -h, --help — prints the help message, aka the "bestie explain" button 🫶
  • -V, --version — prints version info, the receipts of what you're running
  • -v, --verbose — prints verbosely while processing, so it overshares (affectionately) 💬
  • -q, --quiet — only prints fatal erros and requested output 🙈
  • -s, --silent — literally just an alias of --quiet, same energy, different name

🔥 Test features:

  • -a, --atleast-version=MVER — require at least MVER version of HFST (the bare minimum, we don't do less than) ⭐
  • -e, --exact-version=EVER — require exactly EVER version of HFST (no substitutions, no notes) 👑
  • -m, --max-version=UVER — require at most UVER version of HFST (an upper limit, a ceiling, a boundary) 🎀
  • -f, --requirefeature=FEAT — require named FEAT support from HFST, i.e. "do you have this feature or not, be honest" 🔍
Heads up: MVER, EVER or UVER version vectors must be composed of one to three full stop separated runs of digits. So like, digits, dots, digits, done. No cap. 🧚

And FEAT should be the name of a feature supported by HFST, such as SFST, foma or openfst — those are the classic namedrops. 🌈
