README ------ xdict v0.2.1 Homepage: https://github.com/srirangav/xdict About: xdict is a MacOSX command line program for accessing the MacOSX dictionary. Usage: xdict [-l] | [-d [dictionary] [-c [command]] [word] If -l is specified, xdict lists all available dictionaries. If -d is specified, xdict will try to use the specified [dictionary] to look up the specified [word]. if -c is specified, xdict will execute one of the following commands: 'h' or 'headword' - prints the headword only 'm' or 'html' - prints the html version of the defintion 'r' or 'raw' - prints the raw version of the definition (by default xdict tries to format the definition) The all commands except for 'r' or 'raw' are ignored by the -c option unless -d is also specified. Build: $ ./configure $ make Install: $ ./configure $ make $ make install By default, xdict is installed in /usr/local/bin. To install it in a different location, the alternate installation prefix can be supplied to configure: $ ./configure --prefix="<prefix>" or, alternately to make: $ make install PREFIX="<prefix>" For example, the following will install xdict in /opt/local: $ make PREFIX=/opt/local install A DESTDIR can also be specified for staging purposes (with or without an alternate prefix): $ make DESTDIR="<destdir>" [PREFIX="<prefix>"] install Dependencies: xdict relies on DictionaryServices, which are available on MacOSX 10.5 (Leopard) and newer: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/1446842-dcscopytextdefinition?language=objc History: v. 0.2.1 - additional formatting support v. 0.2.0 - add commands and format definitions v. 0.1.0 - initial release Platforms: xdict has been tested on MacOSX 11 (BigSur) and 12 (Monterey) on M1.
