CPU and memory usage by program

current [[-C class] [-L list] | list] show or set current (default) list and class:

if just an argument, the -L flag is assumed, and the current list is changed to the named list.
if just -L is given, and that list is bound to a class then the current class is also changed to the bound class.
if just -C is given, it is as for -L above, save for class not list.
to change current list and class to ones that are not bound to one another, use both the -C and -L flags together.

last [-S sorton] [-F format] [-C count] [-R] [-O outfile]

display last results, optionally reformatting and/or resorting them
e.g. if last calc was "analyse dens -x night" "last -R -S score -F csv -O dens.out" would print reverse sorted on score column formatted as comma separated values output to file "dens.out"

-C	show only count number of items
-S	column to sort on
-F	output format (usually "html", "ascii", or "csv")
-R	reverse sort
-O	write output to file

Lex commands

lex load [-qr] [<listname>] <sourcefile>

-q	quiet: if list already loaded, skip on, returning 0
-r	reload (with -q if list doesn't exist, skip on and try to reload anyhow

lex unload [-q] <name>...

-q	quiet: if list not present, ignore

lex list [-i|-x] [-acefklnrRs] [-L list] [-O output] [-M mapexpr] [-w <word>...]

with no arguments, displays name of loaded lists

-i	show from >index<
-x	show from >lexical< list
-a	all items/words (including non-lex and stopped)
-c	show categories lexical items are members of (only with -i)
-e	show all instances of word
-f	show flags
-k	show in context (kwic)
-l	same and -n with -f
-n	show item numbers, first # is first occur., second is number of occurences
-r	reverse sort
-R	show word roots (if mapped)
-s	show stopped words
-L	specify list (rather than use current default)
-O	send list to <output>
-w	show for specific word(s)

lex kwic [-nocN] [-O outfile] [-L list] [-M mapexpr] {-a | <word>...}

shorthand for list -xek[n], list -xek[n]w <word>...
test for lx_getcontext() routines ("list -k" uses hand rolled).

-a	do all in index
-n	prefix with item numbers
-N	prefix with line numbers
-s	do stopped terms
-c	do categories

lex print [-F fmtflags] [-L] [-M mapexpr] [-O outfile]

output text as originally input

lex plot {-c|-w} [-b #][-e #] [-d] [-L list] [-M mapexpr] [ -I infile] [-O outfile] <word>...

-w	plot word (lex) positions
-c	plot category positions
-b	begin at word #
-e	end at word #
-d	dump data points in cols

lex stop [-c|-r] [-d] [-L list] [-I infile] [-O outfile] [-w <word>...]

-r	reverse flags
-c	clear stops
-w	stop words given
-I	read from stop words from input
-d	dump list of stopped words

options can be used together: stop -c -I stoplist -a to too the an will clear the current stops, read stops from the file "stoplist" and then in addition stop "to", "too", "the", and "an".

lex renumber [-asn] [-L list]

-a	renumber all items in lexical list
-s	renumber including stopped items
-n	renumber including non-lexical items (only for completeness?)

(default os to exclude non-lexical and stopped items)

lex grep [-i] [aceflns] [-L list] [-M mapexpr] [-O outfile] <pattern>...

(grep is (currently) case-insensitive)

-i	grep through index (default is lines of text)
-a	all token types
-c	through categories
-e	expand/enumerate through all instances
-f	show flags
-l	long info
-n	item numbers
-s	stopped items

Analysis and Statistics commands

coll [-c|-x] [-r range] [-t threshold] [-L list] [-M mapexpr] [-O outfile] [-I infile] [-F format][-S sort][-R][-C count] {-a | [-s] <word>...}

-c	collocate categories
-x	collocate lexical items (default)
