# Povi

A dictionary for your terminal. This project is identical to my other project, [novi](https://github.com/eeriemyxi/novi). 

But it is faster because it is written in Nim.

# Installation

## First Method

You can download pre-compiled amd64 binaries for Windows and Linux from the [release page](https://github.com/eeriemyxi/povi/releases/latest) of the GitHub mirror of this repository.

## Second Method

Install Nim and Nimble.

```shell

git clone --branch main --depth 1  povi

cd povi

nimble install

```

Note: this method may error at the last step. But don't panic, it should still install despite the error. Also note that it will install it in your Nimble's home folder, which is usually `~/.nimble/` (see the `bin/` folder there.) 

# Command-line Arguments

```

usage: povi [-h] [--debug] [-V] [-r] [-a] [-n] [words ...]

positional arguments:

  words          Words to search. You can specify multiple words by splitting

                 them by whitespace.

options:

  -h, --help     Show this help message and exit.

  --debug        Enable debug logs.

  -V, --version  Show program version.

  -r, --repl     Initiate a REPL session.

  -a, --altsc    Use alternate screen buffer for the REPL. 

                 Scrolling may not work.

  -n, --nosplit  Don't split the input into multiple words, 

                 instead treat it as one single word/phrase.

```
