This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML and text formats; see below.aspell is a utility that can function as a 'ispell -a' replacement, as an independent spell checker, as a test utility to test out Aspell features and as a utility for managing dictionaries. OPTIONS<command> is one of:
Plus options to modify the behavior of the various filter:
In addition, there are some aspell utility specific options:
In addition aspell will try to make sense out of ispell's command line options so that it can function as a drop in replacement for ispell. If aspell is run without any command line options it will display a brief help screen and quit. CONFIGURATIONaspell can also make use of a global or user configuration file. Each line of the configuration file has the format:
where <option> is any one of the standard library options above without the leading dashes. For example the following line will set the default language to german:
Anything after a '#' on a line is ignored. Use 'aspell dump config' to find out how your installation of aspell is configured. The environment variable ASPELL_CONF may also be used and it overrides any option set in the config file. The format of the string is exactly the same as the configuration file except that semicolons (';') are used as delimiters instead if newlines. The global configuration file for aspell is /etc/aspell.conf and the per user configuration file is ~/.aspell.conf SEE ALSOrun-with-aspell(1), word-list-compress(1). aspell is fully documented in the aspell-doc package. Install that package and see /usr/share/doc/aspell-doc/man-html and /usr/share/doc/aspell-doc/man-text.
