I wrote this because I wanted a spell checker for my novel files.
spell [-v] [-x] [-d <dct>]... [-w <dict_ext>]... [-e <text_ext>]... <input>...
spell reads words from text files and checks them against words in dictionary files.
The following arguments may be provided:
-d <dictionary_name> : add a dictionary name or directory to search
for directory names. If a directory name is entered files with
extensions defined by -w arguments will be loaded. Dictonary names
may also be defined using the SPELL_DICTIONARIES environment variable.
-w <dictonary_extension> : Specify an extension for dictionary files.
You may specify multiple -w arguments. This is used when a directory
name is specified by a -d argument. If no extensions are provided
the default dictionary extension is "dict".
-e <text_extension> : specify an extension for text files.
You may specify multiple -e arguments. This is used when a directory
name is specified as an input file argument. If no extensions are
provided the default text file extension is "txt".
-v : verbose mode - show dictionaries and filenames as they are
processed.
-x : no run - show which dictionary and input files will be processed.
-c : no env - do not load dictionaries from SPELL_DICTIONARIES
-t : do not show lines containing mispelled words - no text
-n : Show near matches - words that are similar but not exactly in
a dictionary.
-h or -?: show this help
input : All arguments following flags are taken as input files
to process.
The SPELL_DICTIONARIES environment variable can be used to specify which
dictionary files to read. Dictionary files and directories are separated by colon characters.
The current value of SPELL_DICTIONARIES is "/Users/daniel/dictionaries"
Words must start with a letter and may only contain letters or the following other characters: _'
