symbol table
- The internal representation of an arc label is an integer.
- The symbols are used for I/O purpose.
- You can store the symbols table with the FST file or not. If you do, use the options
--keep_isymbols
and--keep_osymbols
. - If the labels are non-negative numbers, then the symbol tables can be omitted.
- If the symbol table files are omitted in
fstprint
, the FST will be printed with numeric labels unless the symbol tables are stored with the FST.
