MARISA-BUILD(1)

💖 MARISA-BUILD(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is a General Commands Manual page and it's genuinely so cute — it's called marisa-build and it's here to help you build a dictionary. like, an actual dictionary. from a set of keys. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

marisa-build — a tool to build a dictionary from a set of key 💅

(yes the original says "a set of key", singular, and I am not fixing it, that's the vibe, periodt)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

marisa-build [options]

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she's simple, she's iconic. 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so marisa-build is a tool to build a dictionary from a set of keys. that's literally her whole job and she ate. ✨

the way this works is: she takes newline-delimited keys as input, and then she writes the dictionary to standard output. so like, pipe stuff in, get a dictionary out. main character energy fr fr. 💖

you can specify parameters through command line options — go see marisa-build -h for the list of options. she'll tell you everything, she's not gatekeeping. 🫶

💡 okay so here's the lowkey important bit: if an input line contains horizontal tabs, the last one serves as the delimiter between a key and its weight. that weight is used to optimize the order of nodes. and ngl, the estimated frequency of each key — given as the weight — may improve the search performance. so if you know how often a key shows up, tell her. she'll cook. 🔥
