NAME
       dicod - a DICT daemon

       dicod  [-fEsiTth]  [-I  DIR] [-x LEVEL-SPEC] [--config=FILE] [--foreground] [--stderr] [--syslog] [--preprocessor=PROG] [--no-preprocessor]

DESCRIPTION
       dicod  is  an implementation of DICT server (RFC 2229). It is fully modular: the daemon itself (dicod) provides only the server functional-
       ity, but it knows nothing about database formats. Actual searches are performed by functions supplied in loadable modules. A single  module
       can serve one or more databases.
