[ file ] ...<br /> <br /> /usr/src/cmd/spell/spellin [ list ]<br /> <br /> /usr/src/cmd/spell/spellout [ -d ] list<br /> <br /> == DESCRIPTION ==<br /> _S_p_e_l_l collects words from the named documents, and looks<br /> them up in a spelling list. Words that neither occur among<br /> nor are derivable (by applying certain inflections, prefixes<br /> or suffixes) from words in the spelling list are printed on<br /> the standard output. If no files are named, words are col-<br /> lected from the standard input.<br /> <br /> _S_p_e_l_l ignores most _t_r_o_f_f, _t_b_l and _e_q_n(1) constructions.<br /> <br /> Under the -v option, all words not literally in the spelling<br /> list are printed, and plausible derivations from spelling<br /> list words are indicated.<br /> <br /> Under the -b option, British spelling is checked. Besides<br /> preferring _c_e_n_t_r_e, _c_o_l_o_u_r, _s_p_e_c_i_a_l_i_t_y, _t_r_a_v_e_l_l_e_d, etc., this<br /> option insists upon -_i_s_e in words like _s_t_a_n_d_a_r_d_i_s_e, Fowler<br /> and the OED to the contrary notwithstanding.<br /> <br /> Under the -x option, every plausible stem is printed with<br /> `=' for each word.<br /> <br /> The spelling list is based on many sources, and while more<br /> haphazard than an ordinary dictionary, is also more effec-<br /> tive in respect to proper names and popular technical words.<br /> Coverage of the specialized vocabularies of biology, medi-<br /> cine and chemistry is light.<br /> <br /> Pertinent auxiliary files may be specified by name argu-<br /> ments, indicated below with their default settings. Copies<br /> of all output are accumulated in the history file. The stop<br /> list filters out misspellings (e.g. thier=thy-y+ier) that<br /> would otherwise pass.<br /> <br /> Two routines help maintain the hash lists used by _s_p_e_l_l.<br /> Both expect a list of words, one per line, from the standard<br /> input. _S_p_e_l_l_i_n adds the words on the standard input to the<br /> preexisting _l_i_s_t and places a new list on the standard out-<br /> put. If no _l_i_s_t is specified, the new list is created from<br /> scratch. _S_p_e_l_l_o_u_t looks up each word in the standard input<br /> and prints on the standard output those that are missing<br /> from (or present on, with option -d) the hash list.<br /> <br /> == FILES ==<br /> D=/usr/dict/hlist[ab]: hashed spelling lists, American &amp;<br /> British<br /> S=/usr/dict/hstop: hashed stop list<br /> H=/usr/dict/spellhist: history file<br /> /usr/lib/spell<br /> deroff(1), sort(1), tee(1), sed(1)<br /> <br /> == BUGS ==<br /> The spelling list's coverage is uneven; new installations<br /> will probably wish to monitor the output for several months<br /> to gather local additions.<br /> British spelling was done by an American.<br /> <br /> [[Category:32v man section 1]]</div>
