✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dbskkd-cdb

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie, storytime πŸ“– this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, and the reason is lowkey funny: the original program straight up does not have a manual page. so we made one. you're welcome πŸ’…

so dbskkd-cdb is a dictionary server for the SKK Japanese input method system. it's built on the code of skkserv β€” that's the original SKK server, version 3.9.3 for the record β€” and it uses the cdb constant database package from D. J. Bernstein (DJB) so the dictionary access is fast. like, noticeably fast. obsessed πŸ¦‹

dbskkd-cdb is compatible with skkserv when it comes to protocol behavior β€” same vibes, same protocol, no surprises ✨ it gets called from "super-server" programs like inetd or tcpserver, and the I/O operation is solely through the stdio interface. which means two cute things: the code stays compact 🌱 and restricting access to the server is genuinely easy. iconic behavior, honestly πŸ‘‘
