💖 LT-PRINT 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual corner of the group chat 🌸 this one's all about lt-print, and ngl it's a whole vibe — it's the little icon that prints out compiled dictionaries in ATT format ✨

✨ NAME ✨

lt-print — the compiled dictionary printer for Apertium, periodt 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lt-print [-a | -H] bin_file [output_file]

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So <pink>lt-print</pink> is literally the application in charge of printing compiled dictionaries in ATT format. That's its whole job. It ate and left no crumbs 🍓

• bin_file — the compiled input file, aka the thing you're feeding in 💖
• output_file — the transducer in ATT format, aka the glow-up it becomes ✨

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -a, --alpha — prints the transducer alphabet instead of the transducers. alphabet era, not transducer era 💅
• -H, --hfst — uses HFST-compatible character escapes, like @_SPACE_@ for spaces and @0@ for epsilons. so extra, so valid 🫶
• -h, --help — prints a short help message. the little "hey bestie here's what's up" of flags 😭

💀 BUGS 💀

Currently requires a UTF-8 locale (and doesn't crash if it doesn't have one).

so fr fr: it needs a UTF-8 locale, but plot twist — it won't crash if it doesn't have one 🙈 iconic behaviour honestly.
