Creates a .word index file from a dictd database .index file

Usage

dictfmt_index2word [OPTIONS] [index_file]

Overview

dictfmt_index2word creates a word index file on stdout for the index file given on stdin or the command line. A word index file indexes each subword from the multi-word headwords of the .index file, to the underlying .dict file. A word index file is usually named <basename>.word, but this is not mandatory as long as the proper name is used in the dictd configuration file.

--locale locale

index_file
