- openssl
If using musl build, there is no openssl dependency.
It is recommended to download the prebuilt binary file for your platform from the Github Release on the right side.
Alternatively, you can also download the latest build binaries, including many versions, from the GitHub Actions.
cargo install dioxionaryIf you want to enable the pronunciation feature, use:
cargo install dioxionary --features pronunciation
$ eval "$(dioxionary completion bash)" # for bash
$ eval "$(dioxionary completion zsh)" # for zsh
$ eval "$(dioxionary completion fish)" # for fishYou can write the above commands directly into the configuration file of your shell.
$ dioxionary lookup [OPTIONS] [WORD]The subcommand lookup can be omitted:
$ dioxionary [OPTIONS] [WORD]When there is no word to be searched in the parameter, it will enter the interactive mode, and can search infinitely until Ctrl+D is pressed.
Supports and uses fuzzy search by default. When no word is found in the dictionary, it will output the most similar definition of one or more words.
Use -e or --exact-search to turn off fuzzy search. You can also turn fuzzy search on or off by prefixing a word with / or |, use web dictionaries with @ before a word, and use LLM translation with % before a word.
$ dioxionary /terraria # Fuzzy search
$ dioxionary '|terraria' # Non-fuzzy search, pay attention to use quotation marks
$ dioxionary @terraria # Online search
$ dioxionary %terraria # LLM translationThe local dictionary is used by default, and the local dictionary directory should be stored in:
| Platform | Value | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dioxionary or $HOME/.config/dioxionary |
/home/alice/.config/dioxionary |
| macOS | $HOME/Library/Application Support/dioxionary |
/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support/dioxionary |
| Windows | {FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}/dioxionary |
C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming/dioxionary |
Only stardict dictionary format is supported

Using the -x option will use an online dictionary lookup:
$ dioxionary -x <DICTDIR> <WORD>The dictionary file path can be specified with the -l or --local option.
Use the -L or --local-first option to use the network dictionary after a local lookup fails. It is recommended to add alias rl='dioxionary -L' in the shell configuration file.
Use -r or prefix the word with ~ to pronounce the word.
Prerequisite: The pronunciation feature was enabled during build.
As in the above example, the dictionary directories can be named in the format of 00-XXX, 01-YYY, ..., 99-ZZZ to achieve priority.
The configuration of LLM translation should be in the llm.toml location under the local dictionary directory. The configuration format should be as follows:
[[service]]
name = "DeepSeek"
model_name = "deepseek-chat"
api_url = "https://api.deepseek.com/chat/completions"
targets = ["中文", "English"]
api_keys = ["xxx"] # your API keys
[[service]]
name = "GLM"
model_name = "glm-4-flash"
api_url = "https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/paas/v4/chat/completions"
targets = ["中文", "English"]
api_keys = ["xxx"]Note: Only the word type will be searched and recorded when searching online
$ dioxionary list [OPTIONS] [TYPE]The following word types are supported:
| CET4 | CET6 | TOEFL | IELTS | GMAT | GRE | SAT |
|---|
List all records when type is missing.
Count the number of various words that have been queried:
$ dioxionary count
