okay so this is the manual page for ctow, bestie — it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and it's literally here to translate your Canna dictionary into Wnn speak. periodt.

✨ NAME ✨

ctow — Convert Canna text-form dictionary into Wnn text-form dictionary

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ctow [-f hinshidata] [cannajisho] [wnnjisho]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So ctow takes a Canna text-form dictionary file and converts it into a Wnn text-form dictionary. Glow-up arc, honestly. ✨

Now the vibe check on how you feed it:

• If you omit all the dictionary files, then the dictionary comes in through the standard input. And in that case, the Wnn dictionary goes out to the standard output. 🔁
• If you specify only one dictionary file, it gets treated as the one of the Japanes Input System (not me fixing the spelling, we keep it exactly how the manpage wrote it, iykyk 💅). And in that case, the Wnn dictionary is output from the standard output. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -f hinshidata — this one's for when you wanna add new info about the word-type correspondence between Wnn and Canna. you're the main character of your own mapping table, fr fr. The following word-type correspondence information must be described in the hinshidata file 👇

Within one line, describe the Wnn word type name and the Canna word type while delimiting by a space(s) or tab.

Wnn word type       Canna word type
Adverb              #F04

okay but for real, bestie: spaces or tabs, your choice, but the two names have to be on the same line. don't get cute with it. 🌸
