       catdic - Download a dictionary

SYNOPSIS

       catdic [{-cs|-cannaserver} canna-server] [-i|-u user-name] remote-dic [-l local-file]

DESCRIPTION

       catdic  downloads  a  dictionary  file to the current directory.  The file downloaded is a
       dictionary file the dictionary name of which is remote-dic.  It is in the user  dictionary
       directory  of  the  machine  on  which  cannaserver(1M) is in operation.  (Hereafter, this
       machine is called the remote host.)

OPTIONS

       -cs canna-server (or -cannaserver canna-server)
                   Specifies the name of the server machine that  contains  a  dictionary  to  be
                   downloaded.

       -i          Downloads the system dictionary.

       -u user-name
                   Specifies  the user name.  Another user's dictionary can be referenced by this
                   user name.

       -l local-file
                   local-file is the dictionary file name.  If it is omitted, the standard output
                   will be assumed.

EXAMPLES

         % catdic test

       Outputs  the  contents  of  dictionary  file  ``test'' on the remote host, to the standard
       output.

         % catdic test -l test2.t

       Downloads  dictionary  file  ``test''  on  the  remote  host  to  current  directory  file
       ``test2.t''.
