#+TITLE: =autfilt=
#+EMAIL spot@lrde.epita.fr
#+OPTIONS: H:2 num:nil toc:t
#+LINK_UP: tools.html
The =autfilt= tool can filter, transform, and convert a stream of automata.
* Conversion between formats
=autfilt= can read automata written in the [[http://adl.github.io/hoaf/][Hanoi Omega Automata
Format]], as [[http://spinroot.com/spin/Man/never.html][Spin never claims]], or using [[http://www.tcs.hut.fi/Software/lbtt/doc/html/Format-for-automata.html][LBTT's format]]. Automata in
those formats (even a mix of those formats) can be concatenated in the
same stream, =autfilt= will process them in batch.
The output format can be controlled using [[file:oaut.org][the common output options]]
(like =--spin=, =--lbtt=, =--dot=, =--hoaf=...).
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports both
cat >example.hoa <<EOF
HOA: v1
States: 1
Start: 0
AP: 1 "p0"
Acceptance: 1 Inf(0)
--BODY--
State: 0
[0] 0 {0}
[!0] 0
--END--
EOF
autfilt example.hoa --dot
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: digraph G {
: 0 [label="", style=invis, height=0]
: 0 -> 1
: 1 [label="0"]
: 1 -> 1 [label="p0\n{0}"]
: 1 -> 1 [label="!p0"]
: }
The =--spin= options implicitly requires a degeneralization:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports both
autfilt example.hoa --spin
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
never {
accept_init:
if
:: ((p0)) -> goto accept_init
:: ((!(p0))) -> goto T0_S2
fi;
T0_S2:
if
:: ((p0)) -> goto accept_init
:: ((!(p0))) -> goto T0_S2
fi;
}
#+end_example
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports both
autfilt example.hoa --lbtt
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 1 1t
: 0 1
: 0 0 -1 p0
: 0 -1 ! p0
: -1
* Displaying statistics
One special output format of =autfilt= is the statistic output. For
instance the following command calls [[file:randaut.org][=randaut=]] to generate 10 random
automata, and pipe the result into =autfilt= to display various
statistics.
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports both
randaut --hoa -n 10 -A0..2 -S10..20 -d0.05 2 |
autfilt --stats='%s states, %e edges, %a acc-sets, %c SCCs, det=%d'
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
16 states, 27 edges, 1 acc-sets, 2 SCCs, det=0
12 states, 20 edges, 1 acc-sets, 2 SCCs, det=0
11 states, 15 edges, 0 acc-sets, 4 SCCs, det=1
16 states, 29 edges, 0 acc-sets, 2 SCCs, det=0
15 states, 30 edges, 2 acc-sets, 1 SCCs, det=0
11 states, 17 edges, 1 acc-sets, 2 SCCs, det=0
11 states, 16 edges, 1 acc-sets, 1 SCCs, det=1
17 states, 28 edges, 1 acc-sets, 1 SCCs, det=0
19 states, 36 edges, 0 acc-sets, 3 SCCs, det=0
11 states, 16 edges, 2 acc-sets, 6 SCCs, det=0
#+end_example
The following =%= sequences are available:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports results
autfilt --help | sed -n '/^ %%/,/^$/p' | sed '$d'
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
%% a single %
%A, %a number of acceptance pairs or sets
%C, %c number of SCCs
%d 1 if the output is deterministic, 0 otherwise
%E, %e number of edges
%F name of the input file
%n number of nondeterministic states in output
%p 1 if the output is complete, 0 otherwise
%r conversion time (including post-processings, but
not parsing) in seconds
%S, %s number of states
%T, %t number of transitions
#+end_example
When a letter is available both as uppercase and lowercase, the
uppercase version refer to the input automaton, while the lowercase
refer to the output automaton. Of course this distinction makes sense
only if =autfilt= was instructed to perform an operation on the input
automaton.
* Simplifying automata
The standard set of automata simplification routines (these are often
referred to as the "post-processing" routines, because these are the
procedures performed by [[file:ltl2tgba.org][=ltl2tgba=]] after translating a formula into a
TGBA) are available through the following options.
This set of options controls the desired type of output automaton:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports results
autfilt --help | sed -n '/Output automaton type:/,/^$/p' | sed '1d;$d'
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: -B, --ba Büchi Automaton
: -M, --monitor Monitor (accepts all finite prefixes of the given
: property)
: --tgba Transition-based Generalized Büchi Automaton
: (default)
These options specifies desired properties:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports results
autfilt --help | sed -n '/Translation intent:/,/^$/p' | sed '1d;$d'
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: -a, --any no preference (default)
: -C, --complete output a complete automaton (combine with other
: intents)
: -D, --deterministic prefer deterministic automata
: --small prefer small automata
Finally, the following switches control the amount of effort applied
to reach the desired properties:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports results
autfilt --help | sed -n '/Optimization level:/,/^$/p' | sed '1d;$d'
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: --high all available optimizations (slow)
: --low minimal optimizations (fast, default)
: --medium moderate optimizations
