====ai = abstract_info====
#NOINDENT
``ai`` = ``abstract_info``: //Provides an information about a function, an expression or a category from the abstract syntax.//

#TINY

The command has one argument which is either function, expression or
a category defined in the abstract syntax of the current grammar. 
If the argument is a function then ?its type is printed out.
If it is a category then the category definition is printed.
If a whole expression is given it prints the expression with refined
metavariables and the type of the expression.

- Syntax: ``ai IDENTIFIER  or  ai EXPR``

#NORMAL


#VSPACE

====aw = align_words====
#NOINDENT
``aw`` = ``align_words``: //show word alignments between languages graphically.//

#TINY

Prints a set of strings in the .dot format (the graphviz format).
The graph can be saved in a file by the wf command as usual.
If the -view flag is defined, the graph is saved in a temporary file
which is processed by graphviz and displayed by the program indicated
by the flag. The target format is postscript, unless overridden by the
flag -format.


- Options:

 | ``-giza`` | show alignments in the Giza format; the first two languages

- Flags:

``ca`` = ``clitic_analyse``: //print the analyses of all words into stems and clitics.//

#TINY

Analyses all words into all possible combinations of stem + clitics.
The analysis is returned in the format stem &+ clitic1 &+ clitic2 ...
which is hence the inverse of 'pt -bind'. The list of clitics is give
by the flag '-clitics'. The list of stems is given as the list of words
of the language given by the '-lang' flag.


- Options:

 | ``-raw`` | analyse each word separately (not suitable input for parser)

- Flags:

#VSPACE

====cc = compute_concrete====
#NOINDENT
``cc`` = ``compute_concrete``: //computes concrete syntax term using a source grammar.//

#TINY

Compute TERM by concrete syntax definitions. Uses the topmost
module (the last one imported) to resolve constant names.
N.B.1 You need the flag -retain when importing the grammar, if you want
the definitions to be retained after compilation.
N.B.2 The resulting term is not a tree in the sense of abstract syntax
and hence not a valid input to a Tree-expecting command.
This command must be a line of its own, and thus cannot be a part
of a pipe.

- Syntax: ``cc (-all | -table | -unqual)? TERM``
- Options:

 | ``-all`` | pick all strings (forms and variants) from records and tables
 | ``-list`` | all strings, comma-separated on one line
 | ``-one`` | pick the first strings, if there is any, from records and tables

#NORMAL


#VSPACE

====dc = define_command====
#NOINDENT
``dc`` = ``define_command``: //define a command macro.//

#TINY

Defines IDENT as macro for COMMANDLINE, until IDENT gets redefined.
A call of the command has the form %IDENT. The command may take an
argument, which in COMMANDLINE is marked as ?0. Both strings and
trees can be arguments. Currently at most one argument is possible.
This command must be a line of its own, and thus cannot be a part
of a pipe.

- Syntax: ``dc IDENT COMMANDLINE``

#NORMAL


#VSPACE

====dg = dependency_graph====
#NOINDENT
``dg`` = ``dependency_graph``: //print module dependency graph.//

#TINY

Prints the dependency graph of source modules.
Requires that import has been done with the -retain flag.
The graph is written in the file _gfdepgraph.dot
which can be further processed by Graphviz (the system command 'dot').
By default, all modules are shown, but the -only flag restricts them
by a comma-separated list of patterns, where 'name*' matches modules
whose name has prefix 'name', and other patterns match modules with
exactly the same name. The graphical conventions are:
  solid box = abstract, solid ellipse = concrete, dashed ellipse = other
  solid arrow empty head = of, solid arrow = **, dashed arrow = open
  dotted arrow = other dependency

- Syntax: ``dg (-only=MODULES)?``

- Flags:

 | ``-only`` | list of modules included (default: all), literally or by prefix*

- Examples:

 | ``dg -only=SyntaxEng,Food*`` | shows only SyntaxEng, and those with prefix Food

#VSPACE

====dt = define_tree====
#NOINDENT
``dt`` = ``define_tree``: //define a tree or string macro.//

#TINY

Defines IDENT as macro for TREE or STRING, until IDENT gets redefined.
The defining value can also come from a command, preceded by "<".
If the command gives many values, the first one is selected.
A use of the macro has the form %IDENT. Currently this use cannot be
a subtree of another tree. This command must be a line of its own
and thus cannot be a part of a pipe.

- Syntax: ``dt IDENT (TREE | STRING | "<" COMMANDLINE)``

- Examples:

 | ``dt ex "hello world"`` | define ex as string
 | ``dt ex UseN man_N`` | define ex as string
 | ``dt ex < p -cat=NP "the man in the car"`` | define ex as parse result
 | ``l -lang=LangSwe %ex | ps -to_utf8`` | linearize the tree ex

====eb = example_based====
#NOINDENT
``eb`` = ``example_based``: //converts .gfe files to .gf files by parsing examples to trees.//

#TINY

Reads FILE.gfe and writes FILE.gf. Each expression of form
'%ex CAT QUOTEDSTRING' in FILE.gfe is replaced by a syntax tree.
This tree is the first one returned by the parser; a biased ranking
can be used to regulate the order. If there are more than one parses
the rest are shown in comments, with probabilities if the order is biased.
The probabilities flag and configuration file is similar to the commands
gr and rt. Notice that the command doesn't change the environment,
but the resulting .gf file must be imported separately.

- Syntax: ``eb (-probs=FILE | -lang=LANG)* -file=FILE.gfe``
- Options:

 | ``-api`` | convert trees to overloaded API expressions (using Syntax not Lang)

- Flags:

Generates a list of random trees, by default one tree.
If a tree argument is given, the command completes the Tree with values to
all metavariables in the tree. The generation can be biased by probabilities,
given in a file in the -probs flag.

- Syntax: ``gr [-cat=CAT] [-number=INT]``

- Flags:

 | ``-cat`` | generation category
 | ``-lang`` | uses only functions that have linearizations in all these languages
 | ``-number`` | number of trees generated
 | ``-depth`` | the maximum generation depth
 | ``-probs`` | file with biased probabilities (format 'f 0.4' one by line)

- Examples:

 | ``gr`` | one tree in the startcat of the current grammar
 | ``gr -cat=NP -number=16`` | 16 trees in the category NP
 | ``gr -lang=LangHin,LangTha -cat=Cl`` | Cl, both in LangHin and LangTha

If a Tree argument is given, the command completes the Tree with values
to all metavariables in the tree.


- Flags:

 | ``-cat`` | the generation category
 | ``-depth`` | the maximum generation depth
 | ``-lang`` | excludes functions that have no linearization in this language
 | ``-number`` | the number of trees generated

- Examples:

====i = import====
#NOINDENT
``i`` = ``import``: //import a grammar from source code or compiled .pgf file.//

#TINY

Reads a grammar from File and compiles it into a GF runtime grammar.
If its abstract is different from current state, old modules are discarded.
If its abstract is the same and a concrete with the same name is already in the state
it is overwritten - but only if compilation succeeds.
The grammar parser depends on the file name suffix:
  .cf    context-free (labelled BNF) source
  .ebnf  extended BNF source

The -lang flag can be used to restrict this to fewer languages.
A sequence of string operations (see command ps) can be given
as options, and works then like a pipe to the ps command, except
that it only affect the strings, not e.g. the table labels.
These can be given separately to each language with the unlexer flag

In some printers, this can be restricted to a subset of languages
with the -lang=X,Y flag (comma-separated, no spaces).
The -printer=P flag sets the format in which the grammar is printed.
N.B.1 Since grammars are compiled when imported, this command

====ss = show_source====
#NOINDENT
``ss`` = ``show_source``: //show the source code of modules in scope, possibly just headers.//

#TINY

Show compiled source code, i.e. as it is included in GF object files.
This command requires a source grammar to be in scope, imported with 'import -retain'.
The optional MODULE arguments cause just these modules to be shown.
The -size and -detailedsize options show code size as the number of constructor nodes.
This command must be a line of its own, and thus cannot be a part of a pipe.

- Syntax: ``ss (-strip)? (-save)? MODULE*``
- Options:

 | ``-detailedsize`` | instead of code, show the sizes of all judgements and modules
 | ``-save`` | save each MODULE in file MODULE.gfh instead of printing it on terminal
 | ``-size`` | instead of code, show the sizes of all modules
 | ``-strip`` | show only type signatures of oper's and lin's, not their definitions


- Examples:

 | ``ss`` | print complete current source grammar on terminal
 | ``ss -strip -save MorphoFin`` | print the headers in file MorphoFin.gfh

====vd = visualize_dependency====
#NOINDENT
``vd`` = ``visualize_dependency``: //show word dependency tree graphically.//

#TINY

Prints a dependency tree in the .dot format (the graphviz format, default)
or the MaltParser/CoNLL format (flag -output=malt for training, malt_input)
for unanalysed input.
By default, the last argument is the head of every abstract syntax
function; moreover, the head depends on the head of the function above.
The graph can be saved in a file by the wf command as usual.
If the -view flag is defined, the graph is saved in a temporary file
which is processed by graphviz and displayed by the program indicated
by the flag. The target format is png, unless overridden by the
flag -format.


- Options:

 | ``-v`` | show extra information

- Flags:

 | ``-file`` | configuration file for labels per fun, format 'fun l1 ... label ... l2'
 | ``-format`` | format of the visualization file (default "png")
 | ``-output`` | output format of graph source (default "dot")
 | ``-view`` | program to open the resulting file (default "open")

- Examples:

 | ``gr | vd`` | generate a tree and show dependency tree in .dot
 | ``gr | vd -view=open`` | generate a tree and display dependency tree on a Mac
 | ``gr -number=1000 | vd -file=dep.labels -output=malt`` | generate training treebank
 | ``gr -number=100 | vd -file=dep.labels -output=malt_input`` | generate test sentences

which is processed by graphviz and displayed by the program indicated
by the flag. The target format is png, unless overridden by the
flag -format.


- Flags:

 | ``-format`` | format of the visualization file (default "png")
 | ``-view`` | program to open the resulting file (default "open")

``vt`` = ``visualize_tree``: //show a set of trees graphically.//

#TINY

Prints a set of trees in the .dot format (the graphviz format).
The graph can be saved in a file by the wf command as usual.
If the -view flag is defined, the graph is saved in a temporary file
which is processed by graphviz and displayed by the program indicated
by the flag. The target format is postscript, unless overridden by the
flag -format.
With option -mk, use for showing library style function names of form 'mkC'.


- Options:

 | ``-api`` | show the tree with function names converted to 'mkC' with value cats C
 | ``-mk`` | similar to -api, deprecated
