📦 version 202507, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 lpsbisim2pbes — the bestie manual page ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page from the mCRL2 toolset family (lpsbisim2pbes, section 1 of the User Commands manual), and it's here to help you compute a bisimulation relation between two LPSs. iconic behaviour honestly 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lpsbisim2pbes — computes a bisimulation relation between two LPSs 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lpsbisim2pbes [OPTION]... INFILE1 [INFILE2 [OUTFILE]]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this tool literally reads two files that each contain an LPS, and then it computes a PBES that expresses bisimulation between the two of them. no cap, that's the whole vibe 🌈

If OUTFILE isn't present, standard output is used. slay 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

OPTION can be any of the following, bestie — read them all, don't skip 🫶

  • -bNAME, --bisimulation=NAME — generates a PBES for the bisimulation type NAME. your choices are:
    • 'strong-bisim' — strong bisimulation (this is the default ✨)
    • 'weak-bisim' — weak bisimulation
    • 'branching-bisim' — branching bisimulation
    • 'branching-sim' — branching simulation equivalence
  • -n, --normalize — normalizes the result 🧚
  • -oFORMAT, --out=FORMAT — uses output format FORMAT. the menu is:
    • 'bes' — BES in internal format
    • 'pbes' — PBES in internal format (default, main character energy 👑)
    • 'pgsolver' — BES in PGSolver format
    • 'text' — PBES in textual (mCRL2) format
  • --timings[=FILE] — appends timing measurements to FILE. if you don't provide a FILE, the measurements get written to standard error instead ⭐

💫 Standard options 💫

  • -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; it's 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)

okay bye bestie, go bisimulate something 🧚‍♀️💅 — this was lpsbisim2pbes from the mCRL2 toolset (20..., dated October 2026), and yes it's giving "toolset 20-something" because that's literally what the footer says, periodt 🌈👑
