[Varnamproject-discuss] stemmer functionality

[Kevin Martin]

I've added a --stem <word> option to varnamc. It can only do one simple stemming right now : ാ to ്.

for example:

address@hidden ~/Development/libvarnam/examples $ varnamc -s ml -m പരീക്ഷയാ
Using /usr/local/lib/libvarnam.so
പരീക്ഷയ്

This is because I haven't added the code to check for more complex ending if the first ending is not in the stemrules table in ml.vst

Also,

varnamc -c schemes/ml now inserts the stem rules to a table stemrules in ml.vst

A small helper function strbuf_get_ending() as been added that makes use of the recently added strbuf_chars()

I haven't written any tests yet.
