# marisa-build(1)

A tool to build a dictionary from a set of key

## NAME

marisa-build - A tool to build a dictionary from a set of key

## SYNOPSIS

**marisa-build** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**marisa-build** is a tool to build a dictionary from a set of keys. This tool takes as input newline-delimited keys and writes the dictionary to the standard output.

Users can specify parameters through command line options. See **marisa-build -h** for the list of options.

If an input line contains horizontal tabs, the last one serves as the delimiter between a key and its weight which is used to optimize the order of nodes. Estimated frequency of each key, given as the weight, may improve the search performance.
