XJDICCONFIG(8)

💖 XJDICCONFIG 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to xjdicconfig from the System Manager's Manual — section 8, admin girlies only 💅 this is the little helper that builds your index files for xjdic, and honestly? it's giving "quietly carrying the whole operation." no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

xjdicconfig — a program to create index files for the xjdic program. that's it. that's the job. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xjdicconfig
xjdicconfig dict ...

two moods, one command. iconic behavior fr fr.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — xjdicconfig makes index files for xjdic programs. that's literally its whole main character arc.

• if you hand it arguments, it makes index files for just the dictionaries you named in those arguments 🫶
• if you give it no arguments at all, it makes index files for all the available dictionaries ✨

so like… no args = do everything, some args = do exactly those. vibe check passed. 👑

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /usr/share/edict — the directory for dictionaries in edict format. this is where the dictionary besties live 🏠
• /var/lib/xjdic — the directory for index files. symbolic links to dictionaries must exist in this directory. like, must must. not optional, not "eh I'll do it later." they gotta be there or it's not gonna work 💀
