Dictionary Client

dict is the client that queries the dictd server. Since it is TCP based, it can access servers on the local host, on a local network, or on the Internet.

The DICT Development Group maintains several public servers which can be accessed from any machine connected to the Internet. The default configuration is to query one of these servers first, but this may be changed in the configuration file /etc/dictd/dict.conf.

Queries may be customized by numerous command line options, including specifying the database(s) to be queried and the search strategy to be used.

dict includes dictl, which simplifies using utf-8 encoded dictionaries with terminals that do not support utf-8.
