dictd 命令

常用示例

说明

dictd is a dictionary server daemon implementing the DICT protocol (RFC 2229). It serves dictionary databases to clients over TCP port 2628, enabling word lookups, definitions, translations, and thesaurus queries. The server supports multiple dictionary formats and can serve several dictionaries simultaneously. Clients can query words across all configured databases at once or target specific dictionaries. The protocol supports various search strategies including exact match, prefix, suffix, and fuzzy matching. dictd databases are typically in the dictd format created by dictfmt, which converts various source formats into indexed dictionary files. The server handles concurrent connections and can be configured with access controls. Popular dictionary databases include WordNet, Elements, Jargon File, and various language translation dictionaries.
