💅 HFST-PRUNE-ALPHABET 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the hfst-prune-alphabet page — it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it is literally here to prune the alphabet of a transducer. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

hfst-prune-alphabet — Prune the alphabet of a transducer

(yes the original says "=Prune", with a lil equals sign just chilling there. we keep it. no cap.)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hfst-prune-alphabet [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Prune the alphabet of a transducer. that's it, that's the mission statement 💖

💫 Common options:

  • -h, --help — print the help message, bestie. it tells you things.
  • -V, --version — print version info 🏷️
  • -v, --verbose — print verbosely while processing, so you get the play-by-play
  • -q, --quiet — only print fatal erros and requested output (typo is canon, we're keeping it fr fr 🙈)
  • -s, --silent — alias of --quiet, same energy, different letter

🌈 Input/Output options:

  • -i, --input=INFILE — read input transducer from INFILE
  • -o, --output=OUTFILE — write output transducer to OUTFILE

👑 Alphabet pruning options:

  • -f, --force — force pruning. no thoughts, just prune 💅
  • -S, --safe — prune only if no unknown or identity symbols are used in the transducer (this is the default)

If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or is -, standard streams will be used. the format of the result depends on the format of INFILE. iykyk ✨

⚠️ heads up bestie: -S / --safe is the default behaviour, so if you're out here passing -f you are actively choosing violence. prune responsibly 🫶
