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.
