Dictionary Server plus Client (org.dyndns.hvkls.dictd) // configuration

The Dictionary Server Protocol (DICT) is a TCP transaction based query/response protocol that allows a client to access dictionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases.

This is a complete dictd/dict combo. The server runs on demand (via xinetd), using virtually no resources. You can/should add dictionaries to /usr/local/share/dictd/. The configuration files can be found in
/usr/local/etc/dictd/ (samples provided).

Also provided are the custom convenience scripts “dic” and “dicl”. They both send your query to dictd and format the result. “dicl” will additionally pipe it to “less”, with gremlins ahead.

You have to copy /usr/share/locale from a MAC OS X system to your phone’s /use/share/ folder to benefit!
