=head1 NAME

pdict - a perl client for accessing network dictionary servers

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<pdict> [OPTIONS] I<word>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<pdict> is a client for the Dictionary server protocol (DICT),
which is used to query natural language dictionaries hosted on
a remote machine.  When used in the most simple way,

    % pdict word

B<pdict> will look for definitions of I<word> in the dictionaries
hosted at B<dict.org>. If no definitions are found, then dict
will look for words which are similar, and list them:

    % pdict bonana
      no definition for "bonana" - perhaps you meant:
        banana, bonanza, Banana, Bonanza, Bonasa

This feature is only available if the remote DICT server supports
the I<soundex> or I<Levenshtein> matching strategies.
You can use the B<-stats> switch to find out for yourself.

You can specify the hostname of the DICT server using the B<-h> option:

    % pdict -h dict.org dictionary

A DICT server can support a number of databases;
you can use the B<-d> option to specify a particular database.
For example, you can look up computer-related terms
in the Free On-line Dictionary Of Computing (FOLDOC) using:

    % pdict -h dict.org -d foldoc byte

To find out what databases (dictionaries) are available on
a server, use the B<-dbs> option:

    % pdict -dbs

There are many dictionaries hosted on other servers around the net;
a list of some of them can be found at

    http://www.dict.org/links.html

=head2 MATCHING

Instead of requesting word definitions, you can use pdict
to request a list of words which match a pattern.
For example, to look for four-letter words starting in 'b'
and ending in 'p', you would use:

    % pdict -match -strategy re '^b..p$'

The B<-match> option says you want a list of matching words rather
than a definition.
The B<-strategy re> says to use POSIX regular expressions
when matching the pattern B<^b..p$>.

Most DICT servers support a number of matching strategies;
you can get a list of the strategies provided by a server
using the B<-strats> switch:

    % pdict -h dict.org -strats

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-h> I<server> or B<-host> I<server>

The hostname for the DICT server. If one isn't specified
then defaults to B<dict.org>.

=item B<-p> I<port> or B<-port> I<port>

Specify the port for connections (default is 2628, from RFC 2229).

=item B<-d> I<dbname> or B<-database> I<dbname>

The name of a specific database (dictionary) to query.

=item B<-m> or B<-match>

Look for words which match the pattern (using the specified strategy).

=item B<-i> I<dbname> or B<-info> I<dbname>

Request information on the specified database.
Typically results in a couple of pages of text.

=item B<-c> I<string> or B<-client> I<string>

Specify the CLIENT identification string sent to the DICT server.

=item B<-D> or B<-dbs>

List the available databases (dictionaries) on the DICT server.

=item B<-s> I<strategy> or B<-strategy> I<strategy>

Specify a matching strategy. Used in combination with B<-match>.

=item B<-S> or B<-strats>

List the matching strategies (used in -strategy) supported
by the DICT server.

=item B<-I> or B<-serverinfo>

Request information on the selected DICT server.

=item B<-help>

Display a short help message including command-line options.

=item B<-doc>

Display the full documentation for B<pdict>.

=item B<-version>

Display the version of B<pdict>

=item B<-verbose>

Display verbose information as B<pdict> runs.

=item B<-debug>

Display debugging information as B<pdict> runs.
Useful mainly for developers.

=back

=head1 KNOWN BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

=over 4

=item *

B<pdict> doesn't know how to handle firewalls.

=item *

The authentication aspects of RFC 2229 aren't currently supported.

=item *

Display of list results (eg from B<-strats> and B<-dbs>) could be better.

=item *

B<pdict> isn't very smart at handling combinations of options.

=item *

Currently no support for a configuration file - will add one soon.

=back

=head1 SEE ALSO

=over 4

=item www.dict.org

The DICT home page, with all sorts of useful information.
There are a number of other DICT clients available.

=item dict

The C dict client written by Rik Faith;
the options are pretty much lifted from Rik's client.

=item RFC 2229

The document which defines the DICT network protocol.

http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/rfc2229.html

=item Net::Dict

The perl module which implements the client API for RFC 2229.
