The command "sdcv --exact-search ${search_term}" is used to search for an exact word or term in the dictionary using the sdcv command-line tool. Here's an explanation of the different components of the command:
- "sdcv": It is the name of the command-line tool for Dictionary Client for StarDict, which allows you to search and retrieve definitions, translations, or other dictionary information.
- "--exact-search": It is an option provided by the sdcv tool that specifies to perform an exact search. This means that it will only find the exact word or term provided and won't include partial matches.
- "${search_term}": It is a placeholder representing the word or term you want to search for. You need to replace "${search_term}" with the actual word or term you want to look up in the dictionary.
To use this command, you replace "${search_term}" with the word or term you want to search for. For example, if you want to search for the definition of the word "apple", you would execute: "sdcv --exact-search apple".
