SPOT(7)

NAME
spot - Command-line tools installed by Spot.

SYNOPSIS
Spot is a C++ library for ω-automata and LTL formulas manipulation. It also comes with Python bindings and a set of command-line tools that are listed below.

DESCRIPTION

Command-line tools installed by Spot.

  Tools that output LTL/PSL formulas:

genltl
    Generate LTL formulas from scalable patterns.

ltlf2dfa
    Convert LTLf to transition-based DFA.

ltlfilt
    Filter, convert, and transform LTL or PSL formulas.

ltlgrind
    Mutate LTL or PSL formulas to generate similar but simpler ones. Use this when looking for shorter formula to reproduce a bug.

ltlmix
    Combine LTL/PSL formulas taken randomly from some input set.

randltl
    Generate random LTL or PSL formulas.

  Tools that output automata or circuits:

autfilt
    Filter, convert, and transform ω-automata.

dstar2tgba
    Convert ω-automata into variants of Transition-based Büchi automata.

genaut
    Generate ω-automata from scalable patterns.

ltl2tgba
    Convert LTL or PSL into variants of Transition-based Generalized Büchi Automata, and to other types of automata.

ltl2tgta
    Convert LTL or PSL into variants of Transition-based Generalized Testing Automata.

ltlfsynt
    Check realizability of LTLf specifications.

ltlsynt
    Synthesize AIGER circuits from LTL/PSL specifications.

randaut
    Generate random ω-automata.

  Tools that run other tools:

autcross
    Cross-compare tools processing ω-automata, watch for bugs, and generate statistics.

ltlcross
    Cross-compare translators of LTL or PSL formulas into ω-automata, watch for bugs, and generate statistics.

ltldo
    Wrap any tool that inputs LTL or PSL formulas and possibly outputs ω-automata; provides Spot's I/O interface.
