MKDIC(1)

👑 MKDIC(1) — the girlies' guide to making a user dictionary ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to mkdic, straight out of the General Commands Manual, section 1 💅 this is the tool for creating a user dictionary and she is so much simpler than she looks, i promise 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

mkdic — Tool for creating a user dictionary 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkdic [{-cs|-cannaserver} canna-server] [-s] [- | -l local-file] remote-dic

like. look at her. one line. iconic 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, fr fr: mkdic creates a user dictionary named remote-dic in the user dictionary directory of the remote host — the one where cannaserver(1M) is doing its little thing 💫 and yeah, the dictionary file name remote-dic gets assigned to this file at that time, periodt.

• if you don't specify the - option and you don't specify the -l option, mkdic creates an empty dictionary. nothing in it. a blank little baby 🎀
• if you specify the - option, standard input becomes the dictionary file 📥
• if you specify the -l option, local-file becomes the dictionary file 📂

and if the user dictionary directory doesn't exist yet? no worries bestie, it gets created for you 🌈

also: the dictionary directory file — dics.dir — is rewritten automatically after the registering. so once you've done your thing, the registered dictionary can be used by writing the dictionary name into the customize file. that's the whole point, iykyk 💅

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -cs canna-server (or -cannaserver canna-server) — tells it which server machine holds the dictionary you want to create 🖥️
• -s — says the dictionary you're creating is an adjunct dictionary. if you leave this one out, it gets created as an independent-word one instead 🌟
• -l local-file — registers the input data from local-file 📁
• - — standard input will be used as the dictionary file 📥

---

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

(1) if you want to creat an empty dictionary file:

% mkdic test

(2) if you want to register the input data from the standard input:

% mkdic test -

this registers the input data from the standard input, in the user dictionary directory under dictionary name ``test''. and then the following line is added to the dictionary directory file — dics.dir — :

          user1.t(.mwd) -test-

(3) if the dictionary file is specified:

% mkdic test -l test1.t

this registers the independent-word dictionary file test1.t'' in the remote host's user dictionary directory under dictionary name test''. and then the following line is added to dics.dir:

         user1.t(.mvd) -test-

user1.t is a dictionary file name generated automatically by the system 🤖✨

heads up bestie: those backtick-y quoted bits like ``test'' are exactly how they show up, don't @ me 💀
