LIBSKK(1)

💖 LIBSKK 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libskk manual page, the General Commands Manual edition, and honestly? it's giving main character energy. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's talk about skk.

✨ NAME ✨

skk — the program that emulates the Japanese SKK input method 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

skk [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, skk is a tool that reads key sequences from the standard input and converts them to Japanese text according to a Japanese input method called SKK (Simple Kana to Kanji conversion program). literally what it says on the tin, no cap. 💅

if you wanna know more about the SKK input method itself, the lore lives here: http://openlab.jp/skk/

👑 OPTIONS 👑

the skk command follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below, and yes we're going through all of them because we don't skip. periodt. ✨

• -h, --help — show summary of options. the "help me bestie" flag 🫶
• -f, --file-dict=FILE — specify path to a file dictionary.
• -u, --user-dict=FILE — specify path to a user dictionary.
• -s, --skkserv=HOST:PORT — specify host and port running skkserv.
• -r, --rule=RULE — specify typing rule.
• -l, --list-rules — list typing rules. it's giving window shopping 🔥

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

the demos, the moment everyone's been waiting for:

echo "A i SPC" | skk

converts a capital letter "A" followed by lowercase letter "i" and a space.

echo "K a p a SPC K a SPC" | skk

converts a capital letter "K" followed by lowercase letters "a", "p", "a", and a space. then converts a capital letter "K" followed by "a" and a space.

echo "r k" | skk -r tutcode

converts two lowercase letters "r" and "k" with TUT-Code typing rule.

echo "a (usleep 50000) b (usleep 200000)" | skk -r nicola

converts two lowercase letters "a" and "b" typed with a 50000 micro seconds interval, and wait 200000 micro seconds, with NICOLA typing rule. the timing?? obsessed. 😭
