SYNOPSIS
========

  **dingonyms** \"word\"

  **dingonyms** \[*\--thesaurus*] \[*\--merriamwebster*] \[*\--synonym*] "find"

  **dingonyms** \[*\--openthesaurus* | *\--woxikon* | *\--urban*] "Wort"

  **dingonyms** \[*\--reverso* | *\--fr* | *\--es* | *\--it* | *\--jp*] "bonjour"

  **dingonyms** \[*\--no-antonyms*] \[*\--async*] *\--all* "word"

  **dictcc** \[*en-es* | *en-ru* | *de-nl* | *de-it*] "translate"


DESCRIPTION
===========

To be used as lookup tool for **ding**(1). Scans the specified online service for synonyms.  
It's not very useful as CLI tool by itself, because of the particular dict formatting.


PARAMS
======

Parameters can be specified with one \- or two \-\- dashes (or \+ signs even).  
They can also be abbreviated.

| \--no-antonyms    | -na                                         | FLAG  |
| \--no-headers     | -nh                                         | FLAG  |
| \--async          | \--parallel \--io                           | FLAG  |

They can also be combined (**dingonyms** *-t -mw -u* "find"), so two
or more services get queried at once.

 * And obviously there's also *\--all* to query "all" supported sites.
 * While *\--en* and *\--de* combine the other main services.
 * Reverso offers some alternative languages (-fr, -it, -ru).
 * And \--dictcc that allows for pair-language specifiers (-en-tr, -de-fr)

Execution flags should/must be noted before any translation service:

 * The *\--no-antonyms* flag isn't consistently supported by all backends.
   (It's actually more effort to skip around unwanted data, rather just
   outputting it as it comes in.)
 * *\--no-headers* to omit the "✎ {Sitename}" titles before any output.
 * And *\--asnyc* speeds up the processing of multiple sites, at the cost
   of potentially intermingling their output. It's a rather crude
   threading scheme, and no care has been taken to rewrite dingonyms to
   fully support that. It's primarily meant for \--all and \--de, \--en.
   There's preliminary support for asyncing selected sites as well
   (e.g. **dingonyms \--async ++thes ++merr ++urb "word"**), where it would
   be less likely mash up antonyms. (The execution speed of the regex+print

   at the same time.)

dictionary between different languages. The default mode is en→de, but
alternative *\--from-to* options can be specified. Additionally there's

  **dictcc** *en-it* \-- "translate"

The \-- is optional as is the \--lng-lng dash prefix. Otherwise it's the
same as invoking dingonyms.

Most can also be abbreviated (should cover some typos).

The \-- is optional as is the \--lng-lng dash prefix. Otherwise it's the
same as invoking dingonyms.
