NAME

union − union of FSAs (Finite State Playground)

SYNOPSIS

union xml-filename xml-filename

DESCRIPTION

The union program creates the union of two FSAs given as XML and returns an XML representation of the new FSA.

XML DOCUMENTS AND THEIR SYNTAX

The XML syntax is quite simple. An FSA is represented as a net object which is composed of a series of fsanode objects, each of which encodes a separate state in the FSA. Whether the state is a start and/or a final state is encoded with attributes.

Arcs between states are represented as arc objects within the fsanode objects, with attributes indicating what the arc symols are and what the destination states are.

The full syntax is encoded in the fsanet.dtd file.
