💖 DELWORDS(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the delwords page — it lives in the General Commands Manual section 1, and it's literally the dictionary-cleaning icon we all needed. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

delwords — deleting words from a specified dictionary collectively. yes, collectively. group project energy but it actually works. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

delwords [{-cs|-cannaserver} cannaserver] dicname

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: delwords deletes words from a specified dictionary according to the word information that comes in from the standard input. 🫶

and the standard input? it must be in a format of ``Text Dictionary format'' of Canna. no other format, bestie, that's the rule. 😭

dicname must be a ``Text Dictionary format'' which can be rewritten. if it can't be rewritten, that's a whole problem and not the fun kind. 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -cs _cannaserver_ (or -cannaserver _cannaserver_) — specifies the hostname on which the specified dictionary is expected to exist. like, "hey, the dictionary is over there" energy. 👑

💜 EXAMPLE 💜

% delwords mydic < remwords

Deletes words defined in remwords from mydic. the way that it just… removes them. so clean. 🌸

% catdic mydic | delwords mydic

Clears the contents of mydic. literally empty. main character reset. ✨

ngl, if your input isn't proper ``Text Dictionary format'' of Canna, this whole thing is not gonna slay. just a heads up, bestie. 🎀

and that's the page!! 🦋 from the General Commands Manual, filed under DELWORDS(1) — go forth and delete words collectively, you absolute legend. periodt. 💅🌈⭐
