SKK2CDB(1)

💖 NAME 💖

skk2cdb — bestie, it converts an SKK dictionary file into a cdb ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

skk2cdb [SKK-JISYO [SKK-JISYO-CDB]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. skk2cdb takes an SKK dictionary plain text file and turns it into a cdb — that's DJB's constant database, iykyk — going from standard input (or from SKK-JISYO) to standard output (or to SKK-JISYO-CDB). it's giving glow-up, honestly 💅

one thing tho, no cap: this command requires tinycdb's cdb command. so like, go get that first bestie 🫶

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

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

you can pipe it like the main character you are:

skk2cdb < SKK-JISYO.foobar > SKK-JISYO.foobar.cdb

or, alternatively, hand it the file names directly:

skk2cdb SKK-JISYO.foobar SKK-JISYO.foobar.cdb

both slay, pick your vibe 🌈

💀 BUGS 💀

not me having to tell you this… 😭 this command is provided by Debian. it is not integrated in the upstream source. that's just the lore, fr fr 🙈

and that's the whole page bestie 🎀 it lives in the General Commands Manual as SKK2CDB(1), so that's your girl. go convert some dictionaries, you got this 👑✨
