GNU dictionary server

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

GNU Dico is a flexible modular implementation of DICT server (RFC 2229). In contrast to other implementations, it does not depend on a particular database format. GNU Dico handles database accesses using loadable modules. The package is shipped with quite a few modules that provide support for the most often used database formats and strategies. New modules can easily be written in C, Guile or Python. The module API is mature and well documented. The package also includes a console client program that can be used to query remote dictionary servers.
