reports any words that it finds in the text file that are not in the dictionary.
Syntax
spell [-b] [-i] [-l]
[-v] [-x] [+wordlist] filenames
| -b |
Uses British spellings. |
| -i |
Cause deroff to ignore .so and .nx commands. If
deroff is not present on the system, then this option is ignored. |
| -l |
Follow the chains of all included files. |
| -v |
Print all words not literally in the spelling list, as well as plausible derivations from the words in the spelling list. |
| -x |
Print every plausible stem, one per line, with = preceding each word. |
| +wordlist |
Adds words to the dictionary so next time they are found it does not
think that they are incorrect. |
| filenames |
The name of the
file(s) to be spell checked. |
