DICAR(1)						      General Commands Manual							  DICAR(1)

NAME

       dicar - Archive Binary Dictionary

SYNOPSYS

       dicar -t bindic1
       dicar -x bindic1 [ bindic2 ]
       dicar -r bindic1 bindic2
       dicar -d bindic1 bindic2

DESCRIPTION

       dicar archives binary dictionary bindic1.  The hyphen of each option may be omitted.

OPTIONS

       -t     Displays the dictionaries contained in binary dictionary file bindic1.  Each displayed name of the dictionaries consists of the text
	      file name followed by extension '.d'.  This text file name is that before the dictionary file is converted into the binary file.

       -x     Fetches dictionary bindic2 from bindic1.	Bindic2 consists of the text file name followed by extension '.d'.  This text file name is
	      that  before  the  dictionary  file is converted into the binary file.  The fetched file bindic2 becomes a dictionary file in binary
	      format. If bindic2 is omitted, all dictionaries within bindic1 will be fetched.

       -r     Adds to bindic1, all dictionaries that are contained in the dictionary file specified in bindic2.  Any dictionary in bindic1 that is
	      contained in bindic1 is overwritten.

       -d     Deletes bindic2 from bindic1.

EXAMPLES

       % ls
       chimei.d shima.d
       % dicar -t shima.d
       (Text dictionary file name = Directory size + Word size, packed)
       % dicar r shima.d shima.mwd.d (Replaces shima.mwd.d.)
       % dicar r shima.d chimedi.d (Adds chimedi.d to shima.d.)
       % dicar -t shma.d
       (Text dictionary file name = Directory size + Word size, packed)
