Name

inflate - produces a bigger equivalent automaton

Synopsis

inflate states

Description

inflate produces a bigger automaton with the desired number of states that recognizes the same language as the original automaton. The automaton is read from the standard input, and the resulting automaton is printed on the standard output. Both are in the format of Gertjan van Noord's fsa program.

Options

states
the number of states in the new automaton. Note that it must be bigger than the number of states in the original automaton (this is not a minimization program).

Exit Status

  1. OK
  2. invalid arguments.

Bugs

Only cyclic automata can be inflated to an arbitrary size. Send bug reports to the author: Jan Daciuk, jjaannddaacc@eti.pg.gda.pl (correct the stuttering)
