NAME
       fst-match - longest match analyser

SYNOPSIS
       fst-match [ options ] file [ input-file [ output-file ] ]

OPTIONS
       -q     Suppress status messages.

       -h     Print usage information.

DESCRIPTION
       fst-match is a longest match analyser. The first argument is the name
       of a compact transducer file which was generated by fst-compiler -c.
       The second argument is the name of the input file. The third argument
       is the output file. If the third argument is missing, output is
       directed to stdout.  If the second argument is missing, as well, input
       is read from stdin.

       fst-match reads the argument transducer and performs a longest-match
       analysis of the input string. Given the transducer <x>:<>ab+<x>:<>, it
       will analyse the string baabbca as ba<x>abb<x>ca.

BUGS
       If the longest match can be mapped to several target strings, only one
       of them is printed.
