CIFER-DICT(1)

📦 version 1.2.0, in ubuntu jammy

✨ CIFER-DICT(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the cifer-dict page from the General Commands Manual 💖 it's a whole little helper tool and honestly? it's giving lowercase-glamour, you're gonna love it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

cifer-dict — turn files containing lists of words into a dictionary for cifer(1) 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

cifer-dict input1 [input2]... output

like, yes, that's it. one or more inputs, then one output at the end. slay. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — some of the functions in cifer(1) literally need a specially formatted 'dictionary' to be supplied. no dictionary, no vibes, no functions. that's just the rules bestie 😭

cifer-dict is the icon that fixes this. it takes files containing lists of words as arguments, and outputs the correctly formatted dictionary. that's the whole job. main character energy, minimal drama. 👑

and what does "correctly formatted" mean, you ask? okay so, the dictionary it produces will have:

  • unicode characters converted to their nearest ASCII equivalents ✨
  • all characters converted to lower case 🔡
  • sorted output 📚
  • duplicates removed 🙈 (we do NOT do repeats in this house)

periodt. 💖

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

first one, the classic:

cifer-dict /usr/share/dict/words dict

this uses /usr/share/dict/words as the input list and creates the formatted dictionary as dict. iconic. 🎀

and then the extra one, for when you have ✨your own✨ words too:

cifer-dict /usr/share/dict/words /home/superman/mywords dictionary

this uses /usr/share/dict/words and /home/superman/mywords as input lists and creates the formatted dictionary as dictionary. two inputs, one output, zero notes. 💅
