NAME
+ +
+ + dict, adict – dictionary browser
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + dict [ −k ] [ −d dictname ] [ −c command ] [ pattern ] adict [ + −d dictname ] [ pattern ]
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Dict is a dictionary browser. If a pattern is given on the command + line, dict prints all matching entries; otherwise it repeatedly + accepts and executes commands. The options are
+ −d dictname   Use the given dictionary. A list of available dictionaries + is printed by option −d?. The default is the first dictionary + on the list that is installed on the system.
+ −c command   Execute one command and quit. The command syntax is + described below.
+ −k          Print a pronunciation key. +
+ + Patterns are regular expressions (see regexp(7)), with an implicit + leading ^ and trailing $. Patterns are matched against an index + of headwords and variants, to form a ‘match set’. By default, + both patterns and the index are folded: upper case characters + are mapped into their lower case equivalents, and Latin accented + characters are mapped into their non-accented equivalents. In + interactive mode, there is always a ‘current match set’ and a + ‘current entry’ within the match set. Commands can change either + or both, as well as print the entries or information about them. + +
+ + Commands have an address followed by a command letter. Addresses + have the form:
+ /re/     Set the match set to all entries matching the regular expression + re, sorted in dictionary order. Set the current entry to the first + of the match set.
+ !re!     Like /re/ but use exact matching, i.e., without case and accent + folding.
+ n       An integer n means change the current entry to the nth of the + current match set.
+ #n      The integer n is an absolute byte offset into the raw dictionary. + (See the A command, below.)
+ addr+    After setting the match set and current entry according to + addr, change the match set and current entry to be the next entry + in the dictionary (not necessarily in the match set) after the + current entry.
+ addr−    Like addr+ but go to previous dictionary entry. +
+ + The command letters come in pairs: a lower case and the corresponding + upper case letter. The lower case version prints something about + the current entry only, and advances the current entry to the + next in the match set (wrapping around to the beginning after + the last). The upper case version prints something about + all of the match set and resets the current entry to the beginning + of the set.
+ p,P    Print the whole entry.
+ h,H    Print only the headword(s) of the entry.
+ a,A    Print the dictionary byte offset of the entry.
+ r,R    Print the whole entry in raw format (without translating special + characters, etc.). +
+ + If no command letter is given for the first command, H is assumed. + After an H, the default command is p. Otherwise, the default command + is the previous command. +
+ + Adict is a dictionary browser for acme(1). When run with no arguments, + it creates a new acme window named /adict/ listing the installed + dictionaries. Clicking with button 3 on a dictionary name will + create a new empty window named /adict/dict/. Typing and then + clicking on a pattern in this window will create + a new lookup window named /adict/dict/pattern containing the dictionary’s + definition of pattern. Clicking with button 3 on any word in this + new window will create new lookup windows. +
+ + If adict is run with a pattern , it starts with the /adict/dict/pattern + window. +
+ + If adict is run with no pattern but with a −d option, it starts + with the /adict/dict/ window.

BUGS
+ +
+ + A font with wide coverage of the Unicode Standard should be used + for best results. (Try /usr/local/plan9/font/pelm/unicode.9.font.) + +
+ + If the pattern doesn’t begin with a few literal characters, matching + takes a long time. +
+ + The dictionaries are not distributed outside Bell Labs, though + see /usr/local/plan9/dict/README for information on using free + dictionaries prepared by Project Gutenberg.
