NAME

       spell, spellin, spellout - Finds spelling errors

SYNOPSIS

       spell [-b] [-i  | -l] [-v  | -x] [-d hash_list] [-s hash_stop] [-h history_list] [+word_list] [file...]

       spellin [list] [number]

       spellout [-d] list

       The spell command reads words in file and compares them to those in a spelling list.  Default files contain English words only, but you can
       supply your own list of words in other languages.

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       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
