💅 IBUS-TABLE-CREATEDB(1) — ibus-table-createdb

okay so bestie, you found the ibus-table-createdb manual page (section 1 of the manual, iykyk) — and honestly? it's giving "small tool, big job" energy. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ibus-table-createdb — create an ibus-table database from a table source 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ibus-table-createdb [ -n name | --name name ] [ -s source | --source
source ] [ -e extra | --extra extra ] [ -p pinyin | --pinyin pinyin ] [
-o ] [ --no-create-index ] [ -i ] [ --create-index-only ] [ -d ] [
--debug ]

literally just flags on flags on flags, and every single one is doing something. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

ibus-table-createdb creates a database for ibus-table from a source table. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below 👇

  • -n, --name database-file — database-file specifies the file name for the binary database for the IME. the default is '' (empty, bestie). and here's the cute part: if the file name of the database is not specified, then the file name of the source file — up to the first . — gets .db appended to it, and that becomes the file name of the database. no cap, it just does that. 🫶
  • -s, --source source-file — source-file specifies the file which contains the source of the IME. the default is ''. 🌸
  • -e, --extra extra-words-file — extra-words-file specifies the file name for the extra words for the IME. the default is ''. 🦋
  • -p, --pinyin pinyin-file — pinyin-file specifies the source file for the pinyin. the default is /usr/share/ibus-table/data/pinyin_table.txt.bz2. yes, that exact path, don't @ me. 🎀
  • -o, --no-create-index — Do not create an index for a database. ⚠️ Only for distribution purposes, a normal user should not use this flag! like, seriously, it says it right there. this one's for the packagers, not for you, bestie. 💀
  • -i, --create-index-only — Only create an index for an existing database. Specifying the file name of the binary database with the -n or --name option is required when this option is used. required required, not optional required. 🙈
  • -d, --debug — Print extra debug messages. icon behaviour, honestly. 🔥

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

🌈 example one

ibus-table-createdb -n ipa-x-sampa.db -s ipa-x-sampa.txt

Create the binary database `ipa-x-sampa.db` from the source file `ipa-x-sampa.txt`. slay. ✨

🌈 example two

ibus-table-createdb -i -n ipa-x-sampa.db

Create an index for the database `ipa-x-sampa.db`. look at -i and -n working together, main character energy fr fr. 👑
