NAME
aspell - interactive spell checker
SYNOPSIS
aspell [options]
DESCRIPTION
aspell is a utility program that connects to the Aspell library so that
it can function as an ispell -a replacement, as an independent spell
checker, as a test utility to test out Aspell library features, and as
a utility for managing dictionaries used by the library.
The Aspell library contains an interface allowing other programs direct
access to its functions and therefore reducing the complex task of
spell checking to simple library calls. The default library does not
contain dictionary word lists. To add language dictionaries, please
check your distro first for modified dictionaries, otherwise look here
for base language dictionaries .
The following information describes the commands and options used by
the Aspell Utility.
