Description
editsdcv is a 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
editSTARDICT_DATA_DIR
If set, sdcv uses this variable as data directory. In this example, sdcv searches dictionaries in $STARDICT_DATA_DIR/dic.
Dictionary charging controversy
editAt the end of 2006, software developer Hu Zheng cited personal financial problems[6] as an excuse to charge users for downloading dictionary files from his website, which temporarily aroused strong doubts[7] and dissatisfaction in the Linux community.[8] In the end, under the pressure of public opinion, the charging plan was forced to be canceled and ended hastily.[9]
