NAME

   spell - GNU spell, a Unix spell emulator

SYNOPSIS

   spell [options] files ...

DESCRIPTION

   This  manual page documents briefly the spell command. This manual page
   was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be  used  by
   others),  because  the  original  program  does not have a manual page.
   Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

   spell is a program that emulates the traditional Unix spell command  by
   calling the Ispell utility.

   It  is  a spell checking program which prints each misspelled word on a
   line of its own.

OPTIONS

   The programs follow the  usual  GNU  command  line  syntax,  with  long
   options  starting  with  two  dashes  (`-').  A  summary of options are
   included below. For a complete description, see the Info files.

   -I, --ispell-version
          Print Ispell's version.

   -V, --version
          Print the version number.

   -b, --british
          Use the British dictionary.

   -d, --dictionary=FILE
          Use FILE to look up words.

   -h, --help
          Print a summary of the options.

   -i, --ispell=PROGRAM
          Calls PROGRAM as Ispell.

   -D, --ispell-dictionary=DICTIONARY
          Use the named DICTIONARY to look up words.

   -l, --all-chains
          Ignored; for compatibility.

   -n, --number
          Print line numbers before lines.

   -o, --print-file-name
          Print file names before lines.

   -s, --stop-list=FILE
          Ignored; for compatibility.

   -v, --verbose
          Print words not literally found.

   -x, --print-stems
          Ignored; for compatibility.

   The programs are documented  fully  by  GNU  Spell,  a  clone  of  Unix
   `spell', available via the Info system.
