|
||
## Installation
|
||
Binaries are directly available from the release tab.
|
||
|
||
## Compilation
|
||
|
||
Download source and run
|
||
```
|
||
cargo build --release
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
A readline wrapper like `rlwrap` is strongly recommended if using `ykdt` interactively (-i or empty input).
|
||
```
|
||
ykdt [<words to look up>]
|
||
ykdt :[<radicals in kanji>]
|
||
ykdt _[<expressions in sentences>]
|
||
```
|
||
When looking up kanji, * (or ＊) can be used to add a radical that can't be easily typed, e.g. 气.
|
||
|
||
## Sources
|
||
Dictionary definitions retrieved using [jisho](jisho.org)'s API.
|
||
|
||
To search kanji by radicals, the [radkfile](https://www.edrdg.org/krad/kradinf.html) needs to be installed in either `~/.local/share/` on Linux or `~\AppData\Local\ `on Windows.
