--help or -h show usage instructions --interactive or -i interactive mode, iterate through the spelling errors using a text mode interface; see the Interactive Mode section --overview or -o generate an overview file, grouping by error and not by file --dict=file or -d file load a file with a list of words to consider correct; can be used multiple times --batch-add=file load a file with a list of words to add to the X-POFile-SpellExtra section of each of the target PO files; can be used multiple times; when used, the actual spelling process is not run --command=command the command used for actually spell checking the text, by default aspell --encoding=utf-8 -l; if you want to use ispell, try something like --comand="ispell -l" or --comand="iconv -t iso-8859-1 | ispell -l" INTERACTIVE MODE
In interactive mode you iterate through each of the errors found. In each prompt you can press a to add the word to a file's X-POFile-SpellExtra entry, n to ignore all further errors from this file, Enter to ignore this error or, if you are using one or more dictionary files, the number of the file (1, 2, ...) to add the word to that dictionary file. PO FILE HEADER DIRECTIVES
POFileSpell recognizes one PO file header directive. As with all gettext lint tools, this directive is prefixed with X-POFile. X-POFile-SpellExtra: word adds the word to the file's list of accepted words DICTIONARY FILE FORMAT
Dictionary files are just lists of words, one on each line. For example: word 1 word 2 word n MORE INFORMATION

spell(1) General Commands Manual spell(1) Name spell, spellin, spellout - check text for spelling errors Syntax spell [-v] [-b] [-x] [-d hlist] [+local-file] [-s hstop] [-h spellhist] [file...] spellin [list] spellout [-d] list Description The command collects words from the named documents, and looks them up in a spelling list. Words that are not on the spelling list and are not derivable from words on the list (by applying certain inflections, prefixes or suffixes) are printed on the standard output. If no files are specified, words are collected from the standard input. The command ignores most and constructions. Two routines help maintain the hash lists used by Both expect a set of words, one per line, from the standard input. The command combines the words from the standard input and the preexisting list file and places a new list on the standard output. If no list file is speci- fied, a new list is generated. The command looks up each word from the standard input and prints on the standard output those that are missing from (or present on, with option -d) the hashed list file. For example, to verify that hookey is not on the default spelling list, add it to your own private list, and then use it with echo hookey | spellout /usr/dict/hlista echo hookey | spellin /usr/dict/hlista > myhlist spell -d myhlist <filename> Options -v Displays words not found in spelling list with all plausible derivations from spelling list. -b Checks data according to British spelling. Besides preferring centre, colour, speciality, travelled, this option insists upon -ise instead of -ize in words like standardise. -x Precedes each word with an equal sign (=) and displays all plausible derivations. -d hlist Specifies the file used for the spelling list. -h spellhist Specifies the file used as the history file. -s hstop Specifies the file used for the stop list. +local-file Removes words found in local-file from the output of the command. The argument local-file is the name of a file provided by the user that contains a sorted list of words, one per line. With this option, the user can specify a list of words for a particular job that are spelled correctly. The auxiliary files used for the spelling list, stop list, and history file may be specified by arguments following the -d, -s, and -h options. The default files are indicated below. Copies of all output may be accumulated in the history file. The stop list filters out misspellings (for example, thier=thy-y+ier) that would otherwise pass. Restrictions The coverage of the spelling list is uneven; new installations will probably wish to monitor the output for several months to gather local additions. The command works only with ASCII text files.
