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.
