NAME

       enchant -  a spell checker.

SYNOPSIS

       enchant [-a] [-l] [-L] [-v] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       Enchant is an ispell-compatible spellchecker.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c		       List alternatives.

       -l		       List only the misspellings.

       -L		       Include the line number in the output.

       -v		       Prints the program's version.

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       enchant.ordering;       Enchant	has  a	global	and   a  per-user  ordering  file  named enchant.ordering. It  lets the user specify which
			       spelling backend to use for individual languages in the case when you care  which backend  gets	used.  The  global
			       file  is  located  in  $(datadir)/enchant  and  the  per-user  file  is	located  in ~/.enchant.  The per-user file
			       takes precedence, if found.

			       The  ordering  file  takes  the	form   language_tag:. Currently it supports following backends:  aspell,  myspell,
			       ispell,	 uspell,  hspell.  The comma-separated list may not include spaces. '*' is used to mean "use this ordering
			       for all languages, unless instructed otherwise." For example:

			       *:aspell,myspell,ispell en:aspell,myspell,ispell en_UK:myspell,aspell,ispell fr:myspell,ispell:aspell

NOTES

       Unless configured otherwise, Enchant's Myspell, Ispell,	and Uspell  backends  will  look  for  dictionaries  in  directories  specific	to
       Enchant,   and	will   not  use  your  system-wide installed  dictionaries. This is for pragmatic reasons since many distributions install
       these dictionaries into different locations.

       Like the  enchant.ordering  file  described  above,  Enchant looks  in  the global directory for these dictionaries and a  per-user  direc-
       tory.   The per-user directory takes precedence if  it  is found.  Enchant looks for Myspell dictionaries in $(datadir)/enchant/myspell and
       ~/.enchant/myspell.   Enchant looks  for  Ispell dictionaries in $(datadir)/enchant/ispell and  ~/.enchant/ispell. Enchant looks for Uspell
       dic- tionaries  in $(datadir)/enchant/uspell and ~/.enchant/uspell.

       Packagers  and  users may wish to make symbolic links  to  the system-wide  dictionary directories. Or, preferably, use the --with-myspell-
       dir, --with-ispell-dir, and --with-uspell-dir 'configure' arguments.
