💖 lt-paradigm(1) — the girlies' guide 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, and it's all about lt-paradigm, a lil tool that makes listings out of a compiled transducer. yes we're doing finite-state stuff today, and yes you're gonna slay at it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

lt-paradigm — generate listings from a compiled transducer. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "I compile transducers and then I print". 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lt-paradigm [-a | -s | -z | -h] [-e TAG] fst_file
            [input_file [output_file]]

so you hand it an fst_file, and optionally an input_file and an output_file. the flags go up front. simple as. 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

lt-paradigm prints paths matching input patterns from a transducer. like, you've got a compiled transducer, you've got patterns, and it goes "here are all the paths that match, bestie". ✨

  • fst_file — the compiled transducer. the main character, lowkey. 👑
  • input_file — a list of patterns to be extracted, separated by newlines or nulls. so you can separate them however your heart desires (well, one of those two ways). 🫶
  • output_file — all paths matching the patterns in input_file. each path is terminated by a newline, and groups are separated by the separator used in the input. so if you split 'em with nulls, they come back grouped by nulls. it's giving symmetry. 🪞

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -a, --analyser — match patterns on the right side of the transducer rather than the left. flipping the whole thing around, no big deal. 🙈
  • -e TAG, --exclude TAG — when expanding <*>, do use TAG. (yes, that's literally what the manpage says, and I am not the one to argue with it.) 😭
  • -s, --sort — sort the output for each pattern. alphabetised and demure. ✨
  • -z, --null-flush — no-op, included for compatibility. it does literally nothing and it's still here. iconic behaviour honestly. 💀
  • -h, --help — prints a short help message. your girl always comes through with the help text. 🎀

💀 BUGS 💀

Many... lurking in the dark and waiting for you!

not me reading that at 2am. the manpage really said "they're in the walls". 😭 anyway, keep your eyes open. 🔥
