- GdictContext — Interface for dictionary transports
A dictionary context is a representation of a transport method, that is a way to access a dictionary source.
A dictionary source is any digital representation of a language dictionary which provides a way to programmatically query its contents for the available definitions of a word, phrase or any kind of text.
A dictionary source might use files encoded using the DICT or the StarDict formats, and offer an interface for queries compliant to the Dictionary Protocol as defined by the RFC 2229.
