SYNOPSIS

hanzim [options]...

DESCRIPTION

hanzim is a combination Chinese character learning aid and interactive dictionary.

This manual page briefly documents the hanzim command. Expanded documentation may be found in /usr/share/doc/hanzim/hanzim.doc.gz.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the 'hanzim.doc' file referred to above.

-small
Set up the display for a small (640x480) screen.
-medium
Set up the display for a medium (800x600) screen.
-large
Set up the display for a large (1024x768 and above) screen. This is the default.
-simplified
Use Simplified Chinese characters at startup. This is the default.
-traditional
Use Traditional Chinese characters at startup.
-pinyin
Force use of Pinyin pronunciation display even when using Traditional Chinese characters. Default is to use Zhuyin Fuhao (Bopomofo) for Traditional, Pinyin for Simplified.
-bopomofo
Force use of Zhuyin Fuhao (Bopomofo) pronunciation display even when using Simplified Chinese characters. Default is to use Pinyin for Simplified, Zhuyin Fuhao (Bopomofo) for Traditional.
-hidepron
Deactivate display of pinyin in the lower text panels, and make the overall application window smaller. ('Ctrl-p' or 'Alt-p' will toggle this when running.)
-db dir
Specifies the location of data files. Default for Debian is environment variable HANZIM_LIB, which in turn overrides the compiled-in default.
-buildDB
A special option to rebuild the binary compounds database. This is run on install and should be re-run whenever the 'cidian' file is replaced (see hanzim.doc). Currently it does not work in conjunction with the '-db' option; if you need to rebuild a database in a different directory, just remove the file 'hcompound.dat' there and then run the program with the '-db' option only and NOT '-buildDB'.
-verbose
Print various diagnostic and descriptive information on startup.
-quiet
Don't print any startup information.
-debug
Operate in interactive (tclsh prompt) mode; implies -verbose.
-help
Print out a summary of the command-line options.

FILES

Requires the files "hanwin.tcl", "hanzim.fonts", "zidianf.gb", "zidianfl.b5", "cidianf.gb", "bushou.gb", "parts.gb" to be installed in an accessible directory specified by the -db command line option, the HANZIM_LIB environment variable, or a compiled-in default, in that order of preference.
