usage: liblevenshtein-java-cli [-a <ALGORITHM>] [--colorize] [-d
       <PATH|URI>] [-h] [-i] [-m <INTEGER>] [-q <STRING> <...>] [-s]
       [--serialize <PATH>] [--source-format <FORMAT>] [--target-format
       <FORMAT>]

Command-Line Interface to liblevenshtein (Java)

<FORMAT> specifies the serialization format of the dictionary,
and may be one of the following:
  1. PROTOBUF
     - (de)serialize the dictionary as a protobuf stream.
     - This is the preferred format.
     - See: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/
  2. BYTECODE
     - (de)serialize the dictionary as a Java, bytecode stream.
  3. PLAIN_TEXT
     - (de)serialize the dictionary as a plain text file.
     - Terms are delimited by newlines.

<ALGORITHM> specifies the Levenshtein algorithm to use for
querying-against the dictionary, and may be one of the following:
  1. STANDARD
     - Use the standard, Levenshtein distance which considers the
     following elementary operations:
       o Insertion
       o Deletion
       o Substitution
     - An elementary operation is an operation that incurs a penalty of
     one unit.
  2. TRANSPOSITION
     - Extend the standard, Levenshtein distance to include transpositions
     as elementary operations.
       o A transposition is a swapping of two, consecutive characters as
       follows: ba -> ab
       o With the standard distance, this would require at least two
       operations:
         + An insertion and a deletion
         + A deletion and an insertion
         + Two substitutions
  3. MERGE_AND_SPLIT
     - Extend the standard, Levenshtein distance to include merges and
     splits as elementary operations.
       o A merge takes two characters and merges them into a single one.
         + For example: ab -> c
       o A split takes a single character and splits it into two others
         + For example: a -> bc
       o With the standard distance, these would require at least two
       operations:
         + Merge:
           > A deletion and a substitution
           > A substitution and a deletion
         + Split:
           > An insertion and a substitution
           > A substitution and an insertion

 -a,--algorithm <ALGORITHM>    Levenshtein algorithm to use (Default:
                               TRANSPOSITION)
    --colorize                 Colorize output
 -d,--dictionary <PATH|URI>    Filesystem path or Java-compatible URI to a
                               dictionary of terms
 -h,--help                     print this help text
 -i,--include-distance         Include the Levenshtein distance with each
                               spelling candidate (Default: false)
 -m,--max-distance <INTEGER>   Maximun, Levenshtein distance a spelling
                               candidatemay be from the query term
                               (Default: 2)
 -q,--query <STRING> <...>     Terms to query against the dictionary.  You
                               may specify multiple terms.
 -s,--is-sorted                Specifies that the dictionary is sorted
                               lexicographically, in ascending order
                               (Default: false)
    --serialize <PATH>         Path to save the serialized dictionary
    --source-format <FORMAT>   Format of the source dictionary (Default:
                               adaptively-try each format until one works)
    --target-format <FORMAT>   Format of the serialized dictionary
                               (Default: PROTOBUF)

  --algorithm TRANSPOSITION \
  --max-distance 2 \

  --query mispelled mispelling \

Supported, dictionary sources

The library is designed to read dictionaries from filesystem paths, Java-compatible URIs (including web URLs and Jar resources), process substitutions in Unix shells, and standard input (e.g. piped input).
