SYNOPSIS

       cdtoa  [-n] [-s] [-z] [-e] [-E] infilename
              [-h cixingfile ]  [ usagefreqfile ]

DEFAULT PATH

       /usr/local/bin/cWnn4/cdtoa

DESCRIPTION

       To convert the binary format of the dictionary to text
       format, and output to standard output(stdout).

       infilename is the name of the input binary format
       dictionary.

       The output may be piped into a file by using the ">"
       command.  For example,
               cdtoa  dict.dic  >  dict.u
       "dict.u"  here  is  the  output  text format dictionary, while the "dict.dic" is the input
       binary format dictionary.

       usagefreqfile may indicate more than one user usage  frequency  files  (for  a  particular
       user).   These usage frequency information will be reflected in the text format dictionary
       created.

OPTIONS

       -s     To order the entries in text dictionary according to Pinyin or Zhuyin.

       -n     To attach sequence numbers to the output.

       -z     To convert the binary format back to text format in Zhuyin.
              (Note: default is Pinyin)

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

       -E     If  the Hanzi inside the text dictionary contains characters such as space and tab,
              they will NOT be compacted to special format.

              To specify the Cixing definition file.
