</table>
<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION </b></font><br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
<i>Dict</i> is a dictionary browser. If a <i>pattern</i> is given on the command
line, <i>dict</i> prints all matching entries; otherwise it repeatedly
accepts and executes commands. The options are<br>
<tt><font size=+1>−d</font></tt> <i>dictname</i> Use the given dictionary. A list of available dictionaries
is printed by option <tt><font size=+1>−d?</font></tt>. The default is the first dictionary
on the list that is installed on the system.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>−c</font></tt> <i>command</i> Execute one command and quit. The command syntax is
described below.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>−k</font></tt> Print a pronunciation key.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
Patterns are regular expressions (see <a href="../man7/regexp.html"><i>regexp</i>(7)</a>), with an implicit
leading <tt><font size=+1>^</font></tt> and trailing <tt><font size=+1>$</font></tt>. 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.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
Commands have an address followed by a command letter. Addresses
have the form:<br>
<tt><font size=+1>/</font></tt><i>re</i><tt><font size=+1>/</font></tt> Set the match set to all entries matching the regular expression
<i>re</i>, sorted in dictionary order. Set the current entry to the first
of the match set.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>!</font></tt><i>re</i><tt><font size=+1>!</font></tt> Like <tt><font size=+1>/</font></tt><i>re</i><tt><font size=+1>/</font></tt> but use exact matching, i.e., without case and accent
folding.<br>
<i>n</i> An integer <i>n</i> means change the current entry to the <i>n</i>th of the
current match set.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>#</font></tt><i>n</i> The integer <i>n</i> is an absolute byte offset into the raw dictionary.
(See the <tt><font size=+1>A</font></tt> command, below.)<br>
<i>addr</i><tt><font size=+1>+</font></tt> After setting the match set and current entry according to
<i>addr</i>, 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.<br>
<i>addr</i><tt><font size=+1>−</font></tt> Like <i>addr</i><tt><font size=+1>+</font></tt> but go to previous dictionary entry.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
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.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>p</font></tt>,<tt><font size=+1>P</font></tt> Print the whole entry.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>h</font></tt>,<tt><font size=+1>H</font></tt> Print only the headword(s) of the entry.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>a</font></tt>,<tt><font size=+1>A</font></tt> Print the dictionary byte offset of the entry.<br>
<tt><font size=+1>r</font></tt>,<tt><font size=+1>R</font></tt> Print the whole entry in raw format (without translating special
characters, etc.).
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
If no command letter is given for the first command, <tt><font size=+1>H</font></tt> is assumed.
After an <tt><font size=+1>H</font></tt>, the default command is <tt><font size=+1>p</font></tt>. Otherwise, the default command
is the previous command.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
<i>Adict</i> is a dictionary browser for <a href="../man1/acme.html"><i>acme</i>(1)</a>. When run with no arguments,
it creates a new <i>acme</i> window named <tt><font size=+1>/adict/</font></tt> listing the installed
dictionaries. Clicking with button 3 on a dictionary name will
create a new empty window named <tt><font size=+1>/adict/</font></tt><i>dict</i><tt><font size=+1>/.</font></tt> Typing and then
clicking on a pattern in this window will create
a new lookup window named <tt><font size=+1>/adict/</font></tt><i>dict</i><tt><font size=+1>/</font></tt><i>pattern</i> containing the dictionary’s
definition of <i>pattern</i>. Clicking with button 3 on any word in this
new window will create new lookup windows.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
If <i>adict</i> is run with a <i>pattern ,</i> it starts with the <tt><font size=+1>/adict/</font></tt><i>dict</i><tt><font size=+1>/</font></tt><i>pattern</i>
window.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
If <i>adict</i> is run with no pattern but with a <tt><font size=+1>−d</font></tt> option, it starts
with the <tt><font size=+1>/adict/</font></tt><i>dict</i><tt><font size=+1>/</font></tt> window.<br>

A font with wide coverage of the Unicode Standard should be used
for best results. (Try <tt><font size=+1>/usr/local/plan9/font/pelm/unicode.9.font</font></tt>.)
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
If the <i>pattern</i> doesn’t begin with a few literal characters, matching
takes a long time.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
The dictionaries are not distributed outside Bell Labs, though
see <tt><font size=+1>/usr/local/plan9/dict/README</font></tt> for information on using free
dictionaries prepared by Project Gutenberg.<br>
