💅 lpsbinary(1) — the mCRL2 glow-up page ✨

okay so bestie, this is lpsbinary, a User Commands girlie from the mCRL2 toolset, and she is here to take all your finite sort variables and turn them into lil vectors of boolean variables. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

lpsbinary — the tool that replaces finite sort variables by vectors of boolean variables in an LPS 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lpsbinary [OPTION]... [INFILE [OUTFILE]]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what she does: she replaces finite sort variables by vectors of boolean variables in the LPS that lives in INFILE, and then writes the result out to OUTFILE. iconic behaviour tbh.

The deets on the files, since I know you're gonna ask:

  • if INFILE is not present, then stdin is used 👀
  • if OUTFILE is not present, then stdout is used 🫶

literally that's it. she's not complicated, she's just good at her job.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

OPTION can be any of the following, and yes we're going through all of them, bestie, because you deserve to know:

  • -QNUM, --qlimit=NUM — limits the enumeration of universal and existential quantifiers in data expressions to NUM iterations. the default is NUM=10, and NUM=0 means unlimited (go off, no limits era 🔥).
  • -rNAME, --rewriter=NAME — picks the rewrite strategy NAME. your choices are: 'jitty' for jitty rewriting (this is the default, main character energy), 'jittyc' for compiled jitty rewriting, and 'jittyp' for jitty rewriting with prover ✨.
  • -f[PARAMS], --select=[PARAMS] — selects the parameters that need to be replaced. heads up: all selected parameters must have a finite sort other than Bool (this is a vibe check you cannot fail 💀). examples: --select=a:*,b:Data or --select=*:Enum4.
  • --timings[=FILE] — appends timing measurements to FILE. if no FILE is provided, the measurements get written to standard error instead, ngl that's the fallback.

👑 Standard options 👑

the classics, the essentials, the girlies:

  • -q, --quiet — do not display warning messages 🤫
  • -v, --verbose — display short log messages
  • -d, --debug — display detailed log messages
  • --log-level=LEVEL — display log messages up to and including level LEVEL; either warn, verbose, debug or trace
  • -h, --help — display help information 🫶
  • --version — display version information
  • --help-all — display help information, including hidden and experimental options 👀 (the secret menu, iykyk)
