💖 MALSYM(1) 💖

okay bestie, this is malsym, part of the Malaga quick reference crew — and yes it's manual section 1, we love a classic 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

malsym — compile a Malaga symbol file 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

malsym symbol-file

malsym extended-symbol-file -use symbol-file

like. that's it. two whole ways to call it. slay ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so Malaga is a development environment for natural-language grammars, and it's built on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism — no cap. Malaga grammars can be used for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis 💅

malsym compiles a Malaga symbol file. fr fr, that's the whole job. Hand it the symbol file you want translated as the argument — and heads up, the suffix is either .sym or .esym 👑

If what you're compiling is an extended-symbol-file (suffix .esym), you must add the -use option. Not optional. Not a vibe. Mandatory, bestie 😭

For all the juicy details, go info Malaga. iykyk 💜

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h[elp] — prints a help text all about malsym's command line arguments, then exits. it's giving "explain yourself" 🫶
  • -u[se] symbol-file — uses the already compiled symbol-file as the base symbol file when you're compiling an extended symbol file. the foundation, the blueprint, the moment 💅
  • -v[ersion] — prints malsym's version number and exits. quick lil vibe check ⭐

✨ AUTHORS ✨

Malaga was developed by Bjoern Beutel 🌸 and a whole bunch of other people distributed to it — iconic collective effort, honestly 👑

This manpage was originally written for the Debian distribution by Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho. king behaviour 🎀

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

also the big one: ``Malaga 7, User's and Programmer's Manual'' 📖 — available on Debian systems via info Malaga, and if you've got the malaga-doc package installed, you can get it in various formats (DVI, Postscript, PDF, HTML) under /usr/share/doc/malaga-doc/. go read it, bestie, it's lowkey required reading 💜
