man lbt2dot (Commandes) - LTL to Bchi Translator
NAME
lbt - LTL to Bchi Translator
SYNOPSIS
lbt
< formula.txt > automaton.txt
lbt2dot
< automaton.txt > automaton.dot
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the lbt and lbt2dot commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.
lbt is a filter that translates a linear temporal logic (LTL)
formula to a corresponding generalized Bchi automaton. The
translation is based on the algorithm by Gerth, Peled and Vardi
presented at PSTV'95,
Simple on-the-fly automatic verification of linear temporal logic.
Hardly any optimizations are implemented, and the generated automaton
is often bigger than necessary. But on the other hand, it should always
be correct.
The filter lbt2dot can be used to translate Büchi automata from the
lbt output format to GraphViz format for visualization.
EXAMPLE
echo G p0 | lbt | lbt2dot | dotty -
