RKDEFINEDIC(3)

💖 RKDEFINEDIC 💖

okay bestie so we're looking at RkDefineDic, a little function from the Library Functions Manual, section 3 — that's the C library functions corner of the man pages, iykyk ✨

✨ NAME ✨

RkDefineDic — bestie, it defines the specified candidates in the dictionary 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <canna/RK.h>
int RkDefineDic(cxnum, dicname, wordrec)
int cxnum;
char *dicname;
char *wordrec;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. RkDefineDic defines the candidates you specify into the dictionary whose name is dicname. the vibes are: you hand it a dictionary name, and it goes and puts your word in there. periodt 💅

the word you wanna add goes in the character string wordrec, and it has to be written in this exact format:

reading   part-of-speech information   kanji candidate

so if you write wordrec like this, for example:

(HIRAGANA)     #T35     (KANJI)  ...

then you're specifying a candidate whose part of speech #T35 is defined by the reading "(HIRAGANA)", and whose spelling matches "(KANJI)". and that's it, that's the whole assignment, no cap 🔥

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

this function returns 0 if it worked 🎉 — otherwise it returns -1 😭

also, heads up bestie: it returns -1 without doing anything at all if it's been run in a conversion mode context. like, it just. doesn't. nothing happens. so don't be surprised, okay? 🙈

and that's the whole page, babe — signed off from the Library Functions Manual, RKDEFINEDIC(3), section 3, the RkDefineDic girlies' very own corner of the docs 💜🫶 go forth and define those candidates, mwah 💅✨
