13.6.2 Use

HHED is invoked by typing the command line

   HHEd [options] edCmdFile hmmList

where edCmdFile is a text file containing a sequence of edit commands as described above and hmmList defines the set of HMMs to be edited (see HModel for the format of HMM lists). The available options for HHED are

-d dir
This option tells HHED to look in the directory dir to find the model definitions.

-o ext
This causes the file name extensions of the original models (if any) to be replaced by ext.

-w mmf
Save all the macros and model definitions in a single master macro file mmf.

-x s
Set the extension for the edited output files to be s (default is to to use the original names unchanged).

-z
Setting this option causes all aliasses in the loaded HMM set to be deleted (zapped) immediately before loading the definitions. The result is that all logical names are ignored and the actual HMM list consists of just the physically distinct HMMs.
-B
Output HMM definition files in binary format.
-H mmf
Load HMM macro model file mmf. This option may be repeated to load multiple MMFs.
-M dir
Store output HMM macro model files in the directory dir. If this option is not given, the new HMM definition will overwrite the existing one.
-Q
Print a summary of all commands supported by this tool.

HHED also supports the standard options -A, -C, -D, -S, -T, and -V as described in section 4.4.
