In contrast to another implementations, it does not depend on particular database format. GNU Dico handles database accesses using loadable modules.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>The package also includes a console client program, that can be used to query remote dictionary servers.</p> </div> <div class="copyright"> <p> Return to <a href="http://www.gnu.org">GNU's home page</a>. </p> <p> Return to the <a href="http://puszcza.gnu.org.ua">Puszcza home page</a>. </p> <p> Return to <a href="http://gray.gnu.org.ua">Sergey Poznyakoff home page</a>. </p> <p> Please send broken links and other corrections (or suggestions) to <a href="mailto:webmaster@gnu.org.ua"><em>webmaster at gnu dot org dot ua</em></a>. </p> <p> Copyright © 2009–2020 Sergey Poznyakoff <br /> Verbatim copying and distribution of this entire article is permitted in any medium, provided this notice is preserved. </p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
