okay bestie so we're in the General Commands Manual section, and today's main character is cwddel 💅 she's a little utility that goes and deletes stuff from a binary dictionary. no big deal. except it IS a big deal because she deletes things permanently. we'll get to that. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

cwddel — literally just here to delete characters/words from the binary format dictionary. that's the whole job. icon behaviour honestly. 🎀

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

cwddel [ server ] envname dicno < textdic

🦋 DEFAULT PATH 🦋

/usr/local/bin/cWnn4/cwddel

that's where she lives. that's her address. she doesn't move. 💜

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕ — this function lets a user delete characters/words out of the specified binary dictionary, using the dictionary number dicno that you give her. simple as that.

server is the machine name of the server, okay? and if you don't specify it? no worries, she just takes the default cserver — the one indicated by the environment variable CSERVER. slay.

envname must be specified. no skipping, bestie. it's the environment name. if you're sitting there like "what's my environment name tho 😭" you can literally just run:

cwnnstat -E

and it'll show you the current environment name. you're welcome. 🧚

dicno also must be specified. this one is the dictionary number. yes, you actually have to know it. no vibes-based guessing here. 🙈

the "<" means you pipe the textdic in as an input to the cwddel command. classic. love that for us.

textdic is the user text file that contains the serial number of the characters/words to be deleted from the binary dictionary. and where do you get those serial numbers, you ask? 👀 you can find the serial number of the characters/words by using the environment operation "Word/character search". go find them, then come back.

🌈 and here's the part where I need you to lock in: by using cwddel, all the characters/words with the serial number specified in textdic will be deleted from the specified binary dictionary permanently. like. gone gone. not a soft delete. not a recycle bin situation. PERMANENTLY. 💀

⭐ NOTE ⭐

1. the parts in [ ] are options. they may be omitted. (the brackets are basically "optional, bestie, it's your call" energy. the stuff NOT in brackets? mandatory. no cap. 🔥)

okay that's the whole page, you ate that reading ngl 👑 stay cute, stay careful with your dictionaries, and don't delete anything you're not ready to lose fr fr 💖
