.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\f2RkGetDicList\f1 gets the name of a dictionary that can be added to the dictionary list.
.P
Multiple dictionaries can be simultaneously used during kana-kanji conversion.  The simultaneously available dictionaries are chained to the dictionary list in the conversion context.  The dictionary named at the beginning of the dictionary list is referenced first of all and candidates generated from it are also treated on a priority basis.  Dictionaries are identified by the dictionary name in the dictionary table.
.P
Dictionary names are got in the area \f2dics\f1 in the following format:
.P
.RS 0.2c
dictionary-name-1 ¡ï0 dictionary-name-2 ¡ï0 ... dictionary-name-n ¡ï0 ¡ï0
.RE
.P
The size of the area \f2dics\f1 is given in bytes by \f2maxdics\f1.  The dictionary list is truncated in character strings when it exceeds this size.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
This function returns number of dictionary names, or returns \f4-1\f1 if the context is invalid.
