voikkospell - test program for Voikko spell checker
SYNOPSIS
voikkospell [options]
DESCRIPTION
voikkospell is a test program for spell checking functionality in libvoikko, library of Finnish language tools. It reads words from stdin
(one word on a line) and print them to stdout, adding "C: " in front of correct words and "W: " in front of incorrect words.
Common options of different Voikko test programs are listed in COMMON OPTIONS.
OPTIONS -m In addition to spelling result, prints morphological analysis info (A:) for recognized words.
-M Prints morphological analysis info (A:) for recognized words without displaying spelling result.
-t Prints only "C" or "W" instead of typical full output.
-tt Prints only misspelled words.
-s Prints suggestions (S:) for incorrectly spelled words.
-cn Set cache size parameter to n. -1 disables the cache and 0 is the default. For checking large amounts of unsorted text you may
want to set n to 5 to get better performance.
-j n Use n threads for spell checking. When more than one thread is used checking is performed using large internal buffers which is why
this mode should only be used for batch processing.
-xc Like voikkospell -s but output is printed on one line separated by character c without "C", "W" or "S" in front of the words. If c
is not defined words are separated by space and suggestions that have spaces in them are not printed.
-l Prints a list of available dictionary variants and exits. The first variant is the default to be used when no specific variant has
been requested.
ignore_nonwords=n
accept_first_uppercase=n
accept_extra_hyphens=n
accept_missing_hyphens=n
ocr_suggestions=n
Set the value of the specified boolean option. n can be either 0 (false) or 1 (true).
COMMON OPTIONS -p directory
(voikkospell, voikkohyphenate, voikkogc) Look from directory before the standard locations when searching for dictionary files.
-d variant
(voikkospell, voikkohyphenate, voikkogc) Use dictionary variant variant instead of the default dictionary variant. The variant must
be represented as a BCP 47 language tag.
ignore_dot=n
(voikkospell, voikkohyphenate)
ignore_numbers=n
(voikkospell, voikkohyphenate)
Set the value of the specified boolean option. n can be either 0 (false) or 1 (true).
-h, --help
Print a help message and exit.
--version
Print version numbers for libvoikko and the test tool.

spell(1) User Commands spell(1)NAME
spell, hashmake, spellin, hashcheck - report spelling errors
SYNOPSIS
spell [-bilvx] [ + local_file] [file] ...
/usr/lib/spell/hashmake
/usr/lib/spell/spellin n
/usr/lib/spell/hashcheck spelling_list
DESCRIPTION
The spell command collects words from the named files and looks them up in a spelling list. Words that neither occur among nor are deriv-
able (by applying certain inflections, prefixes, or suffixes) from words in the spelling list are written to the standard output.
If there are no file arguments, words to check are collected from the standard input. spell ignores most troff(1), tbl(1), and eqn(1) con-
structs. Copies of all output words are accumulated in the history file (spellhist), and a stop list filters out misspellings (for example,
their=thy-y+ier) that would otherwise pass.
By default, spell (like deroff(1)) follows chains of included files (.so and .nx troff(1) requests), unless the names of such included
files begin with /usr/lib.
The standard spelling list is based on many sources, and while more haphazard than an ordinary dictionary, is also more effective in
respect to proper names and popular technical words. Coverage of the specialized vocabularies of biology, medicine and chemistry is light.
Three programs help maintain and check the hash lists used by spell:
hashmake Reads a list of words from the standard input and writes the corresponding nine-digit hash code on the standard output.
spellin Reads n hash codes from the standard input and writes a compressed spelling list on the standard output.
hashcheck Reads a compressed spelling_list and recreates the nine-digit hash codes for all the words in it. It writes these codes on
the standard output.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-b Check British spelling. Besides preferring "centre," "colour," "programme," "speciality," "travelled," and so forth, this
option insists upon -ise in words like "standardise."
-i Cause deroff(1) to ignore .so and .nx commands. If deroff(1) 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.
+local_file Specify a set of words that are correct spellings (in addition to spell's own spelling list) for each job. local_file is
the name of a user-provided file that contains a sorted list of words, one per line. Words found in local_file are removed
from spell's output. Use sort(1) to order local_file in ASCII collating sequence. If this ordering is not followed, some
entries in local_file may be ignored.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file A path name of a text file to check for spelling errors. If no files are named, words are collected from the standard input.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of spell: LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and
NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
FILES
D_SPELL=/usr/lib/spell/hlist[ab] hashed spelling lists, American & British
S_SPELL=/usr/lib/spell/hstop hashed stop list
H_SPELL=/var/adm/spellhist history file

Misspelled words can be monitored by default by setting the H_SPELL variable in /usr/bin/spell to the name of a file that has permission
mode 666.
spell works only on English words defined in the U.S. ASCII codeset.
Because copies of all output are accumulated in the spellhist file, spellhist may grow quite large and require purging.
BUGS
The spelling list's coverage is uneven; new installations may wish to monitor the output for several months to gather local additions.
British spelling was done by an American.
