Struct Dictionary 

pub struct Dictionary {
    content: Box<dyn DictReader>,
    index: Box<dyn IndexReader>,
    metadata: Metadata,
}

A dictionary wrapper.

A dictionary is made up of a *.dict or *.dict.dz file with the actual content and a *.index file with a list of all headwords and with positions in the dict file + length information. It provides a convenience function to look up headwords directly, without caring about the details of the index and the underlying dict format.

Fields

content: Box<dyn DictReader>

index: Box<dyn IndexReader>

metadata: Metadata

Implementations

impl Dictionary

pub fn lookup( &mut self, word: &str, fuzzy: bool, ) -> Result<Vec<[String; 2]>, DictError>

Look up a word in a dictionary.

Words are looked up in the index and then retrieved from the dict file. If no word was found, the returned vector is empty. Errors result from the parsing of the underlying files.

pub fn metadata(&mut self, name: &str) -> Result<String, DictError>

Retreive metadata from the dictionaries.

The metadata headwords start with 00-database- or 00database.

pub fn short_name(&mut self) -> Result<String, DictError>

Get the short name.

This returns the short name of a dictionary. This corresponds to the value passed to the -s option of dictfmt.

pub fn url(&mut self) -> Result<String, DictError>

Get the URL.

This returns the URL of a dictionary. This corresponds to the value passed to the -u option of dictfmt.
