NAME
       hfst-lookup - =perform transducer lookup (apply)

SYNOPSIS
       hfst-lookup [OPTIONS...] [INFILE]

DESCRIPTION
       perform transducer lookup (apply)

   Common options:
       -h, --help
              Print help message

       -V, --version
              Print version info

       -v, --verbose
              Print verbosely while processing

       -q, --quiet
              Only print fatal erros and requested output

       -s, --silent
              Alias of --quiet

   Input/Output options:
       -i, --input=INFILE
              Read input transducer from INFILE

       -o, --output=OUTFILE
              Write output to OUTFILE

       -p, --pipe-mode
              Read lookup strings from standard input, do not prompt

   Lookup options:
       -I, --input-strings=SFILE
              Read lookup strings from SFILE

       -O, --output-format=OFORMAT
              Use OFORMAT printing results sets

       -e, --epsilon-format=EPS
              Print epsilon as EPS

       -F, --input-format=IFORMAT
              Use IFORMAT parsing input

       -x, --statistics
              Print statistics

       -X, --xfst=VARIABLE
              Toggle xfst VARIABLE

       -c, --cycles=INT
              How many times to follow input epsilon cycles

       -P, --progress
              Show neat progress bar if possible

       If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used.
       Format of result depends on format of INFILE OFORMAT is one of
       {xerox,cg,apertium}, xerox being default IFORMAT is one of
       {text,spaced,apertium}, default being text, unless OFORMAT is apertium
       VARIABLEs relevant to lookup are {print-pairs,print-space,
       quote-special,show-flags,obey-flags} Input epsilon cycles are followed
       by default INT=5 times.  Epsilon is printed by default as an empty
       string.  If the input contains several transducers, a set containing
       results from all transducers is printed for each input string.

   Todo:
              For optimized lookup format, only strings that pass flag
              diacritic checks are printed and flag diacritic symbols are not
              printed.  Support VARIABLE 'print-space' for optimized lookup
              format

   Known bugs:
              'quote-special' quotes spaces that come from 'print-space'
