✨ HFST-SPLIT(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the HFST manual, section 1 (User Commands) 💅 this one's about hfst-split, and it's literally the friend who splits your giant pile of transducers into separate lil files with names that actually make sense 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

hfst-split — =Extract transducers from archive with systematic file names

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hfst-split [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Extract transducers from archive with systematic file names 🫶 like, you feed it a whole archive of transducers and it hands them back to you one by one, each in its own file, all named in a nice orderly way. no chaos. we love to see it ✨

🎀 Common options:

• -h, --help — Print help message 👑
• -V, --version — Print version info ⭐
• -v, --verbose — Print verbosely while processing 🔍 like, it tells you everything it's doing, no secrets
• -q, --quiet — Only print fatal erros and requested output 💀 (yes, that's spelled exactly like that, iykyk)
• -s, --silent — Alias of --quiet 🤫 same energy, different name

🌈 Input/Output options:

• -i, --input=INFILE — Read input transducer from INFILE 📥
• -p, --prefix=PRE — Use the prefix PRE in naming output files 🏷️
• -e, --extension=EXT — Use the extension EXT in naming output files 📎

If INFILE is omitted or -, stdin is used. If PRE is omitted, no prefix is used. If EXT is omitted, .hfst is used. The extracted files are named "PRE" + N + "EXT", where N is the number of the transducer in the archive 🧚 so cute, so systematic, so iconic.

💜 An example:

cat transducer_a transducer_b | hfst-split -p "rule" -e ".tr"

This command creates files "rule1.tr" (equivalent to transducer_a) and "rule2.tr" (equivalent to transducer_b) 🔥 like, boom, split, slay.
