pg_updatedicts(8)
NAME
pg_updatedicts - build PostgreSQL dictionaries from myspell/hunspell
ones
SYNOPSIS
pg_updatedicts
DESCRIPTION
pg_updatedicts makes dictionaries and affix files from installed
myspell and hunspell dictionary packages available to PostgreSQL for
usage with tsearch and word stem support. In particular, it takes all
*.dic and *.aff files from /usr/share/myspell/dicts/, converts them to
UTF-8, puts them into /var/cache/postgresql/dicts/ with *.dict and
*.affix suffixes, and symlinks them into
/usr/share/postgresql/>version/tsearch_data/system_*, where PostgreSQL
looks for them.
Through postgresql-common's dpkg trigger, this program is automatically
run whenever a myspell or hunspell dictionary package is installed or
upgraded.
