YASKKSERV_NORMAL(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — this is yaskkserv_normal, aka Yet Another SKK SERVer (generic version). that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

yaskkserv_normal [OPTION] dictionary [dictionary...]

like. give it options if you want, then hand it one dictionary, or several, or honestly as many as you can carry. the ... is not decorative, she's hungry. 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. so like, we're doing the homework the upstream never did. 💅

yaskkserv is a dictionary server for the SKK Japanese input method system. it was written in C++ from scratch, and it was written with embedded environments in mind — but it's compatible with skkserv on the protocol behavior. so it plays nice with the classics while lowkey being its own thing. 👑

and yaskkserv_normal? she supports multiple dictionaries and an auto-reload feature. multiple dictionaries, auto-reloading, no cap. that's her whole personality and it's iconic. 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's the thing bestie, the original page lists this exact set twice — so we're keeping it twice, because the rules are the rules and I don't gatekeep. 💀

• -d, --debug — enable debug mode (default disable)
• -h, --help — print this help and exit
• -l, --log-level=LEVEL — loglevel (range [0 - 9] default 1)
• -m, --max-connection=N — max connection (default 8)

and that's the whole page bestie — YASKKSERV_NORMAL(1), General Commands Manual, dated January 17, 2008. she's vintage, she's a legend, she runs on port 1178, and she's literally never beating the "written for Debian" allegations. mwah. 💅💖
