SKKDIC-EXPR(1)

💅 SKKDIC-EXPR(1) — like, the general commands manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is skkdic-expr from the General Commands Manual and she is literally the dictionary glow-up you didn't know you needed 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

skkdic-expr — manipulate skk dictionaries 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

skkdic-expr [-d dir] [-o file] [-O] jisho1 {+-} jisho2 ...

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

soooo first thing's first, bestie: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, because the original program straight up does not have a manual page. not one. nothing. so we made one. you're welcome 💅

skkdic-expr is a program that merges/subtracts dictionary files. that's the whole vibe. she takes your dictionaries and she does math on them — plus, minus, the works. it's giving calculator but for skk dictionaries 🔥

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

• -d dir — use dir as a temporary directory instead of /tmp. so if you're not feeling the whole /tmp situation, you get to pick your own lil hangout spot for the temp files 📁✨
• -o file — output the result to file instead of standard output. like, if you want your results to go somewhere specific instead of just spilling out onto your terminal 🙈
• -O — leave "okurigana" entries in the result. no cap, by default they get dropped, so this flag is how you say "bestie keep those" 💖

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay this one is iconic, watch:

skkdic-expr jisho1 + jisho2 - jisho3

merge entries in jisho1 and in jisho2, remove entries in jisho3, and print the result to standard output. that's it. that's the whole main character moment 👑
