NAME

       pg_updatedicts - build PostgreSQL dictionaries from myspell/hunspell
       ones

SYNOPSIS

       pg_updatedicts

DESCRIPTION

       pg_updatedicts makes dictionaries and affix files from installed
       myspell and hunspell dictionary packages available to PostgreSQL for
       usage with tsearch and word stem support. In particular, it takes all
       *.dic and *.aff files from /usr/share/myspell/dicts/, converts them to
       UTF-8, puts them into /var/cache/postgresql/dicts/ with *.dict and
       *.affix suffixes, and symlinks them into
       /usr/share/postgresql/>version/tsearch_data/, where PostgreSQL looks
       for them.

       Through postgresql-common's dpkg trigger, this program is automatically
       run whenever a myspell or hunspell dictionary package is installed or
       upgraded.
