ARIF_RIME(3)

📦 version 0.3.0, in alpine 3.24

💅 ARIF_RIME(3) — like, the Rime IME integration for ARIF, bestie

Okay so this is arif_rime(3), straight out of the ARIF User Manual ✨ and honestly? It's giving "example engine energy" and I'm kinda obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

arif_rime — the Rime IME integration for ARIF, periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <arif_rime.h>

extern struct arif_engine const arif_rime_engine;

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So this is an example implementation of an ARIF engine, and it's powered by the Rime IME core library 🧚 — like, the whole thing runs on that.

If you're wondering how to actually use this engine, go peek at the manual page of arif_set_engine(3). That's the one that tells you what to do with it, iykyk 💅

⭐ Initialization ⭐

The init() function of arif_rime_engine literally just... ignores the first argument 🙈. Not a vibe check fail, it's intentional. Instead, engine configuration gets read from environment variables.

⚠️ Careful bestie: those variables are only read during the first init() call. So all the subsequent engine instances you initialize just share that same configuration. One config to rule them all, no cap 👑

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • ARIF_RIME_USER_DATA_DIR — path to the directory where Rime user data files live 💾. You can initialize that user data with rime_deployer(1).
  • ARIF_RIME_SHARED_DATA_DIR — path to the directory holding the Rime schema data files. Defaults to "/usr/share/rime-data".
  • ARIF_RIME_LOG_DIR — path to the directory where Rime log files get written. Defaults to "/tmp".
  • ARIF_RIME_LOG_LEVEL — the Rime minimum log level. Should be one of INFO, WARNING, ERROR or FATAL (case insensitive, so you don't gotta yell). Default log level is ERROR.
  • ARIF_RIME_MODULES — a comma-separated list of Rime modules to load before Rime initialization 🧩.

💀 BUGS 💀

Real talk: this is only an example, and its whole purpose is to shed light on how an ARIF engine can be implemented 👀.

It is not intended for everyday use (though, depending on the use cases, it could be — no promises). Because only part of Rime's features are supported, and it may not work as expected with certain configurations 😭. So like, test it with your config first, fr fr.
