💅 SLMINFO(1) — like, the whole vibe ✨

Okay bestie, so this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, which honestly is exactly where you'd expect a little Perl gem like this to be chilling. Pull up a chair, we're about to get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

slminfo — get information of a back-off language model. That's it, that's the whole job, and it ate 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

slminfo [option]... slm_file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So slminfo tells you information about a back-off language model, which we're calling slm_file. She's nosy in the best way 💖

She can also print the model out in ARPA format, if that's what you're into.

And here's the iconic part: when no option is given, slminfo will only print the number of items in each level of the language model. That's it. Lowkey minimalist. Main character energy honestly 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -v, --verbose — turn on verbose mode, which prints out the ARPA format. This is the "okay tell me everything" option, and we love her for it 🌈
  • -p, --pr — prefer normal probability over -log(Pr), which is the default. Heads up though: this one's only valid under the -v option, so don't try to be cute with it on its own 🙈
  • -l, --lexicon dict_file — specify the lexicon. Also only valid under the -v option. What it does is substitute the word-id with word-text in the output, so you get actual words instead of cryptic little numbers. Slay 🔥
Okay so real talk: both -p and -l are strictly -v-option girlies. If you skip -v, they're not doing anything for you, no cap 💀
