💖 NAME 💖

hfst-remove-epsilons — bestie, it removes epsilons from a transducer. That's the whole job. It's giving "spring cleaning but for automata" ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hfst-remove-epsilons [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: your transducer is full of epsilons. Not cute. We are removing them. That's it, that's the function, and honestly? Iconic behaviour. 💅

🎀 Common options:

  • -h, --help — prints the help message so you know what's up 🫶
  • -V, --version — prints version info, in case you need to know which era of HFST you're living in
  • -v, --verbose — prints verbosely while processing, so you get the play-by-play commentary
  • -q, --quiet — only prints fatal erros and requested output (yes, only the erros, the fatal ones 💀)
  • -s, --silent — literally just an alias of --quiet, same energy, different name

🧚 Input/Output options:

  • -i, --input=INFILE — reads the input transducer from INFILE
  • -o, --output=OUTFILE — writes the output transducer to OUTFILE
If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used. And heads up: the format of the result depends on the format of INFILE. No surprises, just vibes.
