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.
