HANZIM(1n)

NAME
hanzim - Hanzi Master

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 "hanzim.doc" (or possibly "hanzim.doc.gz"), which may be either in "/usr/local/doc", "/usr/local/share/doc", "/usr/share/doc", "/usr/local/doc", or "/usr/doc" depending on the idiosyncrasies of your particular distribution and installation.

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.

-db dir
    Specifies the location of data files. Default for most installations is either '/usr/local/lib/hanzim' or '/usr/lib/hanzim'. This overrides the 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.

-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.
