✨ NAME ✨

genpyt — the little icon that generates the PINYIN lexicon 💅 (this is the GENPYT(1) page, user contributed Perl docs, bestie, you're in the right place)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

genpyt lexicon-file result-file log-file slm-file

Four files in, one slayed lexicon out. That's the whole vibe check 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so genpyt is literally the tool that generates the PINYIN lexicon 🔥 That's its whole job, it's not doing side quests.

One tiny thing though, and I need you to hear me: it only works on the zh_CN.UTF-8 locale. No cap. Any other locale and it's giving "nope" 💀 So set that locale first, bestie, and then come talk to me.

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • lexicon-file — your dictionary file, babe 🎀 It should be a line-based text file in utf-8 encoding. Every single line looks like this:
CCC  id  [pinyin'pinyin'pinyin]*

And listen — there's a default dictionary file already chilling at /usr/share/sunpinyin/dict.utf8 if you don't feel like making your own 💖

  • result-file — the output binary PINYIN lexicon file, the main character of this whole operation 👑 This lexicon contains a trie presenting the key tree of PINYIN. And all of the candidate words are sorted using the unigram in slm-file. (Yes, that's the actual technical deal, I'm not making it up ✨) This file can be used with sunpinyin input method engines. Slay.
  • log-file — this is where the log goes 📝 Think of the log-file as the human-readble presentation of the binary output file. Like, same situation, but you can actually read it with your eyes 🙈
  • slm-file — the language model from which the unigram information are retrieved 🧚 Typically, the slm-file is generated by slmthread. So like, go generate that first, iykyk.
