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.
