5 Testing Translation Tables interactively ¶
A number of test programs are provided as part of the liblouis
package. They are intended for testing liblouis and for debugging
tables. None of them is suitable for braille transcription. An
application that can be used for transcription is file2brl,
which is part of the liblouisutdml package (see Introduction in Liblouisutdml User’s and Programmer’s Manual). The source
code of the test programs can be studied to learn how to use the
liblouis library and they can be used to perform the following
functions.
All of these programs recognize the --help and --version options.
- --help
- -h
Print a usage message listing all available options, then exit successfully.
- --version
- -v
Print the version number, then exit successfully.
Most test programs let you specify one or multiple tables to use. These tables are usually found in standard locations in the file system or local to where the command is executed. See How tables are found, for a description on how the tables are located.
