Keyman Developer
================

This package provides the following Keyman **command line tools**:

 - `kmlmc` — takes **lexical model sources** and compiles them in to
   a **.js** file.
 - `kmlmp` — uses a `.model.kmp` file to generate a redistributable
   **lexical model package**.
 - `kmlmi` — merges Keyman lexical model `.model_info` files.

`kmlmc` is intended to be used standalone, or as part of a build system.
`kmlmp` is used only by command line tools. `kmlmi` is used exclusively
in the [lexical-models repository][lexical models].

In order to build [lexical models][], these tools must be built and
compiled.
