DICT

DICT is a protocol for dictionary lookups.

Usage

For fun try

curl dict://dict.org/m:curl
curl dict://dict.org/d:heisenbug:jargon
curl dict://dict.org/d:daniel:gcide

Aliases for 'm' are 'match' and 'find', and aliases for 'd' are 'define' and 'lookup'. For example,

curl dict://dict.org/find:curl

Commands that break the URL description of the RFC (but not the DICT protocol) are

curl dict://dict.org/show:db
curl dict://dict.org/show:strat
