-h, --help
    Print help message

-V, --version
    Print version info

-v, --verbose

-q, --quiet

  Input/Output options:

-1, --input1=INFILE1
    Read first input transducer from INFILE1

-2, --input2=INFILE2
    Read second input transducer from INFILE2

-C, --do-not-convert
    Do not allow transducers to be converted into the same type

-o, --output=OUTFILE

  Flag diacritics:

-F, --harmonize-flags

-H, --do-not-harmonize Do not harmonize

If OUTFILE, or either INFILE1 or INFILE2 is missing or -, standard streams will be used. INFILE1, INFILE2, or both, must be specified. Format of result depends on format of INFILE1 and INFILE2; both should have the same format.

The operation is applied pairwise for INFILE1 and INFILE2 that must have the same number of transducers. If INFILE2 has only one transducer, the operation is applied for each transducer in INFILE1 keeping the second transducer constant.
