NAME

       mkdic - Tool for creating a user dictionary

SYNOPSIS

       mkdic  [{-cs|-cannaserver}  canna-server]  [-s]  [-  |  -l  local-file]
       remote-dic

DESCRIPTION

       mkdic creates user dictionary named remote-dic in the  user  dictionary
       directory of the remote host, on which cannaserver(1M) is in operation.
       Dictionary file name remote-dic is assigned to this file at this  time.

       If  the  -  and  -l  option  isn’t  specified,  mkdic  creates an empty
       dictionary.

       If the - option is specified, the standard input will be  used  as  the
       dictionary file. If the -l option is specified, local-file will be used
       as the dictionary file.

       If the user dictionary directory does not exist, it will be created.

       Dictionary directory file — dics.dir — is rewritten automatically after
       the  registering. The registered dictionary can thus be used by writing
       the dictionary name into the customize file.

OPTIONS

       -cs canna-server (or -cannaserver canna-server)
                   Specifies the server machine that contains  the  dictionary
                   to be created.

       -s          Indicates  that  the dictionary to be created is an adjunct
                   dictionary.  If this option is omitted, the dictionary will
                   be created as an independent-word one.

       -l local-file
                   Registers the input data from local-file.

       -           The standard input will be used as the dictionary file.

EXAMPLES

       (1) If you want to creat an empty dictionary file:

             % mkdic test

       (2) If you want to register the input data from the standard input:

             % mkdic test -

       Registers  the  input  data  from  the  standard  input,  in  the  user
       dictionary directory under dictionary  name  ‘‘test’’.   The  following
       line is then added to dictionary directory file — dics.dir — :


                 user1.t(.mwd) -test-
       (3) If the dictionary file is specified:

             % mkdic test -l test1.t

       Registers  independent-word  dictionary  file ‘‘test1.t’’ in the remote
       host’s user dictionary directory under dictionary name  ‘‘test’’.   The
       following line is then added to dics.dir:


                user1.t(.mvd) -test-
       user1.t  is  a  dictionary  file  name  generated  automatically by the
       system.
