kkcd(8)

NAME

kkcd - Daemon that supports the Kana-Kanji conversion service

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/kkcd user-id group-id kkc-db

OPERANDS

user-id Identifies the user being served by the daemon. group-id Specifies the group to which the user belongs. kkc-db Specifies the location of data needed for Kana-Kanji conversion.

DESCRIPTION

The kkcd daemon supports Kana-Kanji conversion for the Japanese language and is available only when Japanese support subsets are installed on the system. The daemon converts an English or Kana string to one or more different Kanji strings and runs only when the Kana-Kanji conversion capability of the atty terminal driver is activated. The utx pseudo device driver acts as an communication channel between the atty terminal driver and the kkcd daemon. The ikk parameter of the stty command spawns the kkcd and utx daemons (see stty(1)). The stty command also includes parameters for setting terminal line discipline, modes, input key sequences, and keymap data for Kana-Kanji conversion.
