NAME

       catod - To convert the text format of a dictionary to binary
               format.

SYNOPSIS

       catod  [-s maxword ] [-R] [-r] [-e] [-S] [-U]
              [-P dicpasswd ]    [-p frepasswd ]
              [-h cixingfile ] outfilename

DEFAULT PATH

       /usr/local/bin/cWnn4/catod

DESCRIPTION

       This command converts a dictionary from text format into binary format.

       outfilename is the name of the binary format dictionary.  If outfilename is not given, the
       output will be passed to the standard output device(stdout).

       The input file may be piped in by using the "<" command.  For example,
            catod  basic.dic  <  basic.u
       "basic.dic" here is the output binary format dictionary, while the "basic.u" is the  input
       text format dictionary.

       If  the  input  text  dictionary  is  not given, the input will be taken from the standard
       input(stdin).  To end the input via standard input, press ^D.

OPTIONS

       -s     maxword
              To specify the maximum number of words.  Default is 70000.

       -R     To create a dictionary for both forward and reverse conversion.  (Default).

       -r     To create a reverse format dictionary only for reverse conversion.

       -e     If the Hanzi inside the text dictionary contains characters such as space and  tab,
              they will be compacted to special format.  (Default).

       -S     To create a static dictionary.

       -U     To create a dynamic dictionary.

       -P     dicpasswd
              To specify the password for the dictionary.
              If "-N" is used instead, the password of the dictionary will be set to "*".

       -p     frepasswd
              To specify the password for the usage frequency file.
              If "-n" is used instead, the password of the frequency file will be set to "*".
