LANGDRILL(1)

📦 version 0.3, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy

✨ NAME ✨

langdrill — a lil program that tests your vocabulary in foreign languages 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

langdrill [file]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay bestie, so this manual page gives you the lowdown on the langdrill commands. langdrill is a simple program for testing your vocabulary. it has complete support for internationalized text and can display languages such as Japanese, Hebrew, Russian and many more. no cap, it's giving polyglot main character energy 👑

the program was inspired by JavaDrill, but the author (Ionutz Borcoman) thinks langdrill has some improvements: while JavaDrill can handle one definition file at a time, langdrill can handle many definitions sections from a single file. slay 💅

the default definition file for langdrill is default.drill, and it's located by default in one of these directories:

  • /usr/share/langdrill
  • /usr/local/share/langdrill

which one depends on whether your system is Debian GNU/Linux or not.

adding a file on the command line forces langdrill to use that file instead of the default one. periodt.

also!! langdrill uses GTK 2 and VDK 2. iconic combo fr fr ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • there are literally no options for langdrill, except the optional description file. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was written by Ionutz Borcoman <borco@borco-ei.eng.hokudai.ac.jp> for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program did not have a manual page 😭 (not me writing the docs myself). it is currently maintained by Sam Hocevar <sam@zoy.org> 💜

kisses, this page lives in the General Commands Manual section, it's titled LANGDRILL(1), and it's your girl LANGDRILL(1) signing off 🌈💖✨
