NAME

ps-mak-dafsa - generate a compact and optimized DAFSA from a Public Suffix List

SYNOPSIS

ps-mak-dafsa [,options/] infile outfile

DESCRIPTION

ps-mak-dafsa produces C/C++ code or an architectur-independent binary object that represents a Deterministic Acyclic Finite State Automaton (DAFSA) from a textual representation of a Public Suffix List. Input and output files must be specified on the command line.

This compact representation enables optimized queries of the list, saving both time and space when compared to searches of huma-readable representations.

OPTIONS

The format of the data read and written by ps-mak-dafsa depends on options passed to it.

--output-format=[cxx|cxx+|binary]: cxx: (default) output is C/C++ code
cxx+: output is C/C++ code plus statistical assignments (used by libpsl build process)
binary: output is an architectur-independent binary format
--encoding=[ut-8|ascii]: ut-8: (default) UT-8 mode (output contains UT-8 + punycode)
ascii: (deprecated) -bit ASCII mode (output contains punycode only)
