NAME

       an - Anagram generator

SYNOPSIS

       an  [-w]  [-c  string]  [-d  dictionary] [-l number_words] [-m word_length] [-u string] [-n number_anagrams] [-h] [-v] [--words] [--contain
       string] [--dict dictionary] [--length number_words] [--minimum word_length]  [--used string] [--number  number_anagrams]  [--help]  [--ver-
       sion] PHRASE

DESCRIPTION

       an  finds  all  anagrams  which	can  be  made  from  the letters in PHRASE, using words in the specified dictionary. The default is to use
       /usr/share/dict/words.

OPTIONS

       -w, --words
	      Print words that the letters in PHRASE can make, then exit.

       -c, --contain string
	      Only print anagrams which contain string.

       -d, --dict dictionary
	      Use dictionary file to find words which the letters in PHRASE can make.

       -m, --minimum word_length
	      Only include word which are at least word_length long.

       -u, --used string
	      Considers that letters in string have already used when analyzing letters in PHRASE.  Like --contain but doesn't print out string.

       -l, --length number_words
	      Finds anagrams which have a maximum of number_words words in them.  This is very useful when number of anagrams which are output	is
	      large.

       -n, --number number_anagrams
	      Stops after finding number_anagrams anagrams.

       -h, --help
	      Print a usage message on standard output, then exit.

       -v, --version
