Description: Dictionary Client
dict is the client that queries the dictd server. Since it is TCP
based, it can access servers on the local host, on a local network,
or on the Internet.
.
The DICT Development Group maintains several public servers which can
be accessed from any machine connected to the Internet. The default
configuration is to query one of these servers first, but this may be
changed in the configuration file /etc/dict.conf.
.
Queries may be customized by numerous command line options, including
specifying the database(s) to be queried and the search strategy to
be used.
.
dict includes dictl, which simplifies using utf-8 encoded dictionaries
with terminals that do not support utf-8.
