spell check program
hi,
i need to write a spell check program in bash to find all possible spelling errors in a file or a number of files taken as input using usr/dict/words.
whenever the program encounters a spelling error, it must state the line number at which the incorrect spelling has occured and underline the word along with the entire life
for example,
11 --- apple apple applle (underlined) apple
i would appreciate any suggestions.
thank you

Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
OPTIONS
[Tru64 UNIX] The following options are for the spell command only. Checks for correct British spelling. Besides preferring centre,
colour, programme, speciality, travelled, and so on, this option causes spell to insist upon the use of the infix -ise in words like stan-
dardise. [Tru64 UNIX] Specifies hash_list as the alternate spelling list. The default is /usr/lbin/spell/hlist[ab]. [Tru64 UNIX] Speci-
fies history_list as the alternate history list that is used to accumulate all output. The default is /usr/lbin/spell/spellhist. [Tru64
UNIX] Suppresses processing of included files through the and troff macros. If the -i and -l options are both specified, the last one of
the two options entered on the command line takes effect. [Tru64 UNIX] Follows the chain of all included files (.so and
