.SH SYNOPSIS

.B psl-make-dafsa

[\fI\,options\/\fR] \fIinfile\fR \fIoutfile\fR

.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBpsl-make-dafsa\fR produces C/C++ code or an

architecture-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 human-readable

representations.
