SYNOPSISwdutil [ -c | -i[kcap][,dcap] | -jjfile ] file
wdutil [ -pd[desig] | -pk[desig] ] file
wdutil [ -sd[[+|-]val] | -sk[[+|-]val] ] file
wdutil [ -ud | -uk | -ut ] file
wdutil [ -d | -l ] file
DESCRIPTIONwdutil is used to manipulate the word dictionary used by Native Lan‐
guage I/O for phrase and word conversion. The word dictionary consists
of a key entries block and a data entries block. The key entries block
holds the designations, and the data entries block holds the words cor‐
responding to each designation. wdutil also functions as a filter for
transforming a word dictionary to a text file, and vice versa. See the
Text File section for the layout of a text file.
wdutil recognizes one of the options below. If no option is specified
and the file is a valid word dictionary, the capacity of the key and
data entries blocks in the file is displayed. Otherwise, an error mes‐
sage is printed.
The capacity of the key entries block determines the maximum number of
designations. The capacity of the data entries block determines the
maximum number of words.
Options
-c Condense the data entries block in the file to obtain a
larger contiguous free area. If the format version of
the file is old, it is updated.
-i[kcap][,dcap]
Initialize the file as a word dictionary which has key
entries block capacity specified by kcap and data
entries block capacity specified by dcap. If the file
does not exist, it is created. The default values are
499 for kcap and 650 for dcap.
-jjfile Join the dictionary jfile into the file. The capacity
of the resulting file is the sum of the capacities of
the original file and the jfile.
-pk[desig] Display the designations in the order of their code
value. If desig ends with *, designations starting with
desig are printed. If desig is * or omitted, all desig‐
nations in the file are printed.
-pd[desig] Display the designations and their corresponding words
and part of speeches. The string desig has the same
format as in -pk.
-sd[[+|-]val] Change the capacity of the data entries block in the
file. If + or - precedes val, the current value is
incremented or decremented by val. Otherwise, the
capacity is changed to val. The default value for val
is 650.
-sk[[+|-]val] Change the capacity of the key entries block in the
file. The number val has the same format as in -sd
option. The default value for val is 499.
-ud Display the capacity and usage of the data entries
block, and the size of contiguous free area.
-uk Display the capacity and usage of the key entries block.
-ut Display the capacity and usage of both the key and data
entries blocks, and the size of contiguous free area of
the data entries block.
-d Read a word dictionary, transform it into text form, and
dump it to the standard output. If the word includes a
character whose code is undefined in $LANG code set, its
internal code is dumped in hexadecimal notation.
-l Load the entry lines in text form from the standard
input into the specified word dictionary. If specified
dictionary exists, wdutil overwrites it with loaded
entry lines; otherwise wdutil creates a new one contain‐
ing them. If an entry line is invalid, it is rejected
and an error message is displayed on the standard error.
Text File
Each entry line in the text file consists of the following fields ter‐
minated by \n. White space can be used as field separator. The 3rd
field is effective only if LANG=japanese, japanese.euc, ja_JP.SJIS, or
ja_JP.eucJP
designation word hinshi(part of speech)
designation
Consists of up to sixteen characters excluding special charac‐
ters. However, after being transformed by the -d option, all
characters in designation are 2-byte characters in a text file.
word The word corresponding to designation consists of up to 50 bytes
of multi-byte characters. The word may have hexadecimal notation
instead of multi-byte characters. For example, the hexadecimal
notation '\x7e7e' is recognized as a character whose internal
code is 0x7e7e.
hinshi Specify a part of speech which is one of noun, sa-hen verb, sur‐
name, personal name, and address. Filling conventions are FUT‐
SUUMEISHI(or simply MEISHI), SAHENDOUSHI(or simply SAHEN), SEI,
MEI and CHIMEI in kanji character. If nothing is specified,
wdutil sets it FUTSUUMEISHI automatically.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
International Code Set Support
Single byte and multibyte character code sets are supported.
WARNINGS
The smallest prime number not smaller than the given value is used as
the capacity of a key entries block. However, if the given value is
smaller than 5, 5 is used.
Voiced plosive or non_voiced plosive in a designation is counted as 1
character in a text file.
User dictionaries with old format version are supported on HP-UX 10.0,
but they will not be supported in the future. To update them, use -c
option:
$ wdutil-c file
