✨ MAKESKKCDBDIC(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual page for makeskkcdbdic — yeah the name is a mouthful, we don't talk about it 💀 but the tool itself? lowkey iconic. let's get into it 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

makeskkcdbdic — the SKK dictionary file to cdb converter, aka the glow-up machine for your dictionary ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

makeskkcdbdic SKK-JISYO [SKK-JISYO-CDB]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe. makeskkcdbdic takes your SKK dictionary plain text file SKK-JISYO and converts it into a cdb (DJB's constant database) file. no cap, it's literally just that 🦋

and where does the output go? either to SKK-JISYO-CDB (if you told it where), or it defaults to SKK-JISYO + ".cdb". cute, right? 💅

this command is an improvement of dbskkd-cdb's makeskkcdb.sh — so it's giving upgraded, evolved, main character energy 👑

also important bestie: this command requires tinycdb's cdb command. it does not come included, it's a whole separate thing. so go get that first or nothing's gonna happen 🙈

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

💜 Convert SKK-JISYO.foobar to SKK-JISYO.foobar.cdb

two ways to do the exact same slay, pick your fighter:

makeskkcdbdic SKK-JISYO.foobar

or

makeskkcdbdic SKK-JISYO.foobar SKK-JISYO.foobar.cdb

both of these eat, fr fr 🍓

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so this is the part where we keep it real: this command is provided by Debian. it is not integrated in the upstream source. so it's a Debian exclusive, iykyk 🌈

not a bug in the "it's broken" way, more of a "hey, this lives here and nowhere else" heads-up. periodt.

and that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 💖 this little love letter comes to you as part of the MAKESKKCDBDIC(1) manual page, hanging out in the General Commands Manual section — go forth and convert your dictionaries, mwah 💅✨🎀
