✨ hfst-subtract ✨

okay bestie, welcome to hfst-subtract(1) — it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it's about to become your new obsession 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

hfst-subtract — =Subtract (minus) two transducers

(yes the = is in the original name, we don't question it, we respect it 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hfst-subtract [OPTIONS...] [INFILE1 [INFILE2]]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Subtract (minus) two transducers. that's the whole vibe. one transducer minus another, math but make it fst 🔥

💜 Common options 💜

  • -h, --help — print the help message, aka the "what does this even do" button 🙈
  • -V, --version — print version info, so you know exactly which era of HFST you're dealing with ⭐
  • -v, --verbose — print verbosely while processing; she's chatty and she's telling you everything 👑
  • -q, --quiet — only print fatal erros and requested output (spelling is theirs, we keep it fr fr) 🤫
  • -s, --silent — alias of --quiet, same energy, different name, iconic 💀

🦋 Input/Output options 🦋

  • -1, --input1=INFILE1 — read the first input transducer from INFILE1
  • -2, --input2=INFILE2 — read the second input transducer from INFILE2
  • -C, --do-not-convert — do not allow transducers to be converted into the same type 🚫
  • -o, --output=OUTFILE — write results to OUTFILE 💾

🌈 Flag diacritics 🌈

  • -F, --harmonize-flags — harmonize flag diacritics ✨
  • -H, --do-not-harmonize — do not harmonize 🚫

If OUTFILE, or either INFILE1 or INFILE2 is missing or -, standard streams will be used. INFILE1, INFILE2, or both, must be specified. Format of result depends on format of INFILE1 and INFILE2; both should have the same format. no cap, keep those formats matching bestie 😭

The operation is applied pairwise for INFILE1 and INFILE2 that must have the same number of transducers. If INFILE2 has only one transducer, the operation is applied for each transducer in INFILE1 keeping the second transducer constant. it's giving very flexible, very demure 🧚

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

hfst-subtract -o catdog.hfst cat.hfst dog.hfst

subtracts transducers. that's it, that's the example, and honestly? slay 💅
