GNU Dico is an implementation of the DICT protocol as defined in RFC 2229. It is fully modular: the daemon itself (dicod) provides only the server functionality, and knows nothing about database formats. Actual searches are performed by functions supplied in loadable modules. A single module can serve one or more databases.

This package contains the dicod server, in addition to the following plugins: * ldap: provides LDAP support * substr: provides a substring search strategy * stratall: provides the 'all' search strategy
