dictunformat1

Usage

Overview

dictunformat takes a dictionary index file as a parameter and a dictionary database file on stdin and outputs a raw database that may be used to create a DICT database by dictfmt -t. This may be useful if it is desired to create a dictionary for a locale other than that for which the original was created, or if it is desired to correct or supplement a pre-existing dictionary.
