Dictd

Dictd is the reference implementation of the DICT network protocol, which serves language dictionaries (AKA glossaries) over a network. It stores its database in a simple text-based file with extension .dict (or .dict.dz when using Dzip), alongside an index file with the extension .index. There is an extension called "dictzip" that uses the Gzip format, with extra index data in its headers, to compress the dictionary.
