NAME
       lt-comp - This application is part of the lexical processing modules
       and tools ( lttoolbox )

       This tool is part of the apertium machine translation architecture:
       http://www.apertium.org.

SYNOPSIS
       lt-comp [ -a | -v | -l | -r | -h ] [ lr | rl ] dictionary_file
       output_file [acx_file]

       lt-comp [ --alt | --var | --var-left | --var-right | --help ] [ lr | rl
       ] dictionary_file output_file [acx_file]

DESCRIPTION
       lt-comp Is the application responsible of compiling dictionaries used
       by lt-proc in Apertium into a compact and efficient representation (a
       class of finite-state transducers called augmented letter transducers).

OPTIONS
       -a, --alt
              Sets the value of the alt attribute to use in compilation.

              Note that if no value is set, all entries containing an alt
              attribute are omitted.

       -v, --var
              Sets the value of the v attribute to use in compilation.  This
              should only be used with monodixes; for bidixes, see -l and -r.

              Note that if no value is set, all entries containing a v
              attribute are considered to be left-to-right.

       -l, --var-left
              Sets the value of the vl attribute for use in compilation of
              bidixes.  "Left" here refers to the side of the dictionary, so
              this option is only valid in rl mode.

       -r, --var-right
              Sets the value of the vr attribute for use in compilation of
              bidixes.  "Right" here refers to the side of the dictionary, so
              this option is only valid in lr mode.

       -h, --help
              Prints a short help message

       lr     The resulting transducer will process dictionary entries left-
              to-right.

       rl     The resulting transducer will process dictionary entries right-
              to-left.

FILES
       dictionary_file The input dictionary.

       output_file The compiled dictionary (a finite state transducer).

       acx_file Optional XML file of equivalent characters in monodices.
