DESCRIPTION
dicod is an implementation of DICT server (RFC 2229). It is fully
modular: the daemon itself (dicod) provides only the server
functionality, but it knows nothing about database formats. Actual
searches are performed by functions supplied in loadable modules. A
single module can serve one or more databases.
