31       -u --use-dict filename
32               for search use only dictionary with this bookname
33

36
37       --utf8-output

FILES

50       /usr/share/stardict/dic
51
52       $(HOME)/.stardict/dic
53
54              Place,  where  sdcv  expect  to  find  dictionaries.  Instead of
55              /usr/share/stardict/dic you can use everything  that  you  want,
56              just  set  STARDICT_DATA_DIR environment variable.  For example,
57              if you have dictionaries  in  /mnt/data/stardict-dicts/dic,  set
58              STARDICT_DATA_DIR to /mnt/data/stardict-dicts.
59
60       $(HOME)/.sdcv_history
61
62              This  file  include last  $(SDCV_HISTSIZE) words, which you seek
63              with sdcv.  SDCV use this file only  if  it  was  compiled  with
64              readline library support.

ENVIRONMENT

68       Environment Variables Used By sdcv:
69
70       STARDICT_DATA_DIR   If  set,  sdcv use this variable as data directory,
71                           this is  mean  that  sdcv  search  dictionaries  in
72                           $STARDICT_DATA_DIR\dic
73
74       SDCV_HISTSIZE       If  set,  sdcv  wrote in $(HOME)/.sdcv_history only
75                           last $(SDCV_HISTSIZE) words, which you  seek  using
76                           sdcv.  If it is not set, then last 2000 words saved
77                           in $(HOME)/.sdcv_history.
78
79       SDCV_PAGER          If SDCV_PAGER is set, its  value  is  used  as  the
80                           name  of  the program to use to display the dictio‐
81                           nary's article.
