Online command-line thesaurus?

This here has answers for an Online thesaurus. I need an offline thesaurus for the commandline. If there is none, is there a library available in the repos containing something like a database for synonymns and antonymns that I can use to make an application with?

Thanks.

pdftotext 'MyThesaurus.pdf' - | grep -A2 -B2 dog | less

that is 2 lines before and 2 lines after

It would work best if the thesaurus had a format like each adjective at https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/each

dog adjective

the you could search for

dog adjective or dog noun or dog verb etc

write a script that does all that and takes a word as input like

sh mythesaurus.sh dog

Looks like answers for Is there an offline command-line dictionary? might help you.

In short:

  • sdcv is the console version of Stardict.
  • You can use free dictionary with dict command (dictd)
