💖 MKDFA.PL(1) — like, the manual page, bestie 💖

okay so welcome to mkdfa (yes, the file is literally called mkdfa.pl, she contains multitudes ✨). this is your group-chat rundown of the whole thing. no cap, every flag is here. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mkdfa — grammar compiler 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mkdfa [options...] {prefix}

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she even do? mkdfa compiles the Julian format grammar (that's your .grammar and .voca files) into Julian native formats (.dfa and .dict). and as a lil bonus gift 🎀, a .term file also gets generated — it stores the correspondence of category ID used in the output files to the source category name. iykyk.

prefix should be the common file name prefix of the .grammar and voca file. so from prefix.grammar and prefix.voca, out come prefix.dfa, prefix.dict and prefix.term. it's giving transformation sequence, honestly 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -n — not process dictionary. you can only convert .grammar file to .dfa file without .voca file. lowkey the minimalist option, she's doing less and that's valid 💖

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

  • TMP or TEMP — set directory to store temporal file. if not specified, one of them on the following list will be used: /tmp, /var/tmp, /WINDOWS/Temp, /WINNT/Temp. she'll pick a home for her lil temp files, don't worry 🏠

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

Convert a grammar foo.grammar and foo.voca to foo.dfa, foo.voca and foo.term.

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

mkdfa invokes mkfa and dfa_minimize internally. they should be placed at the same directory as mkdfa. so like, don't leave her besties behind, they gotta be in the same folder or it's a whole situation 😭
