💖 hfst-minimize — minimize a transducer 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the hfst-minimize(1) page, part of the HFST User Commands fam (she lives in section 1, iykyk). this is your girl for making a transducer smaller and cuter without changing what it actually does. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

hfst-minimize — =Minimize a transducer

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hfst-minimize [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Minimize a transducer

like. that's the whole job. she shrinks it down and it's still the same language, periodt 👑

💅 Common options:

  • -h, --help — Print help message. your girl literally explains herself, iconic behaviour.
  • -V, --version — Print version info. who is she? which build? find out.
  • -v, --verbose — Print verbosely while processing. she will tell you everything she's doing, no gatekeeping.
  • -q, --quiet — Only print fatal erros and requested output. (yes, "erros", we keep it exactly as written, no notes 💀)
  • -s, --silent — Alias of --quiet. same energy, different name, both ate.

🌈 Input/Output options:

  • -i, --input=INFILE — Read input transducer from INFILE. slide it in, bestie.
  • -o, --output=OUTFILE — Write output transducer to OUTFILE. the minimized lil baby goes here.

👑 Command-specific options:

  • -E, --encode-weights — Encode weights when minimizing (default is false). no cap, the default really is false — so if you want your weights encoded you gotta say so out loud.

If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used. so you can pipe her around like she's the main character. 🧚

Format of result depends on format of INFILE. so like, whatever you fed her, that's the vibe she's giving back — the input format is the blueprint fr fr.
