✨ WAEI(1) — the Japanese-English dictionary bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this is the manual page for waei, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and it's literally the console version of gwaei. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

waei — Japanese-English dictionary. that's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

waei [options] pattern...

yes bestie, you give it options and a pattern (or a few patterns, plural, go off) and it does the thing 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so waei is a dictionary program for Japanese-English translation. that's the whole point. that's the main character energy right there.

and hmm, important lore: this is the console version of gwaei. so if you wanted the GUI one, that's a different page, babes. 👑
