sdcv

sdcv ( StarDict under Console Version) is the command line version of StarDict developed by Evgeniy A. Dushistov and Hu Zheng. It employs all the dictionary files that belong to StarDict. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Supported Platforms

sdcv runs under Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. As in StarDict, dictionaries of the user's choice have to be installed separately.

Main Usage

Synopsis

sdcv [ options ] [list of words]


Use "-h" option to view the message of whole options.

Description

sdcv is simple, cross-platform text-base utility for work with dictionaries in StarDict's format. The word from "list of words" may be string with leading '/' for using Fuzzy search algorithm, string may contain '?' and '*' for using regexp search. It works in interactive and non-interactive mode. Press Ctrl+D to exit from interactive mode?

Environment

STARDICT_DATA_DIR
If set, sdcv uses this variable as data directory. In this example sdcv searches dictionaries in $STARDICT_DATA_DIR/dic.

Advantages

Sometimes, we need to search for a certain pattern or example sentence from the dictionaries. sdcv along with text filter tools such as awk, sed, grep, and so on will, of course, be very helpful.
