LT-APPEND(1)

✨ LT-APPEND(1) — like, the manual page, bestie ✨

okay so. <rainbow>lt-append</rainbow> is a little tool from the <pink>General Commands Manual</pink> and honestly? she's giving quiet luxury. she doesn't do much but what she does, she ATE. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

lt-append — combine two compiled dictionary transducers 🧚

like, two dictionaries walk into a bar and leave as one. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lt-append input_a input_b output

three little words and she's done. iconic behaviour fr fr. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: lt-append combines two compiled dictionaries as if they had been compiled from one big XML file, except it keeps the sections separate. that's the whole vibe. 💜

let's do a lil example because i know you're a visual learner:

• input_a has sections <cyan>“main”</cyan> and <cyan>“final”</cyan>
• input_b has section <cyan>“regex”</cyan>
• then output will have sections <cyan>“main”</cyan>, <cyan>“final”</cyan> and <cyan>“regex”</cyan>

⚠️ important caveat bestie, don't skip this: there is no cross-section minimisation, so internally there is no union, but the behaviour of running the transducer will be as if we had done the union. she's doing the union's job without technically being the union. main character energy honestly. 👑

🎀 FILES 🎀

• input_transducer_a — the first input binary (a finite state transducer). the original. the blueprint. 🌸
• input_transducer_b — the second input binary (a finite state transducer). the plus one. the duo partner. 💫
• output_transducer — the output binary with the combination of inputs (a finite state transducer). the glow-up. the final form. ✨
