NAME


hunspell - spell checker, stemmer and morphological analyzer

SYNOPSIS


hunspell [-1aDGHhLlmnOrstvwX] [--check-url] [--check-apostrophe] [-d dict[,dict2,...]]
[--help] [-i enc] [-p dict] [-vv] [--version]
[text/OpenDocument/TeX/LaTeX/HTML/SGML/XML/nroff/troff file(s)]

DESCRIPTION


Hunspell is fashioned after the Ispell program. The most common usage is "hunspell" or
"hunspell filename". Without filename parameter, hunspell checks the standard input.
Typing "cat" and "exsample" in two input lines, results an asterisk (it means "cat" is a
correct word) and a line with corrections:

$ hunspell -d en_US
Hunspell 1.2.3
*
& exsample 4 0: example, examples, ex sample, ex-sample

Correct words signed with an '*', '+' or '-', unrecognized words signed with '#' or '&' in
output lines (see later). (Close the standard input with Ctrl-d on Unix/Linux and Ctrl-Z
Enter or Ctrl-C on Windows.)

With filename parameters, hunspell will display each word of the files which does not
appear in the dictionary at the top of the screen and allow you to change it. If there
are "near misses" in the dictionary, then they are also displayed on following lines.
Finally, the line containing the word and the previous line are printed at the bottom of
the screen. If your terminal can display in reverse video, the word itself is
highlighted. You have the option of replacing the word completely, or choosing one of the
suggested words. Commands are single characters as follows (case is ignored):

R Replace the misspelled word completely.

Space Accept the word this time only.

A Accept the word for the rest of this hunspell session.

I Accept the word, capitalized as it is in the file, and update private
dictionary.

U Accept the word, and add an uncapitalized (actually, all lower-case) version
to the private dictionary.

S Ask a stem and a model word and store them in the private dictionary. The
stem will be accepted also with the affixes of the model word.

0-n Replace with one of the suggested words.

X Write the rest of this file, ignoring misspellings, and start next file.

Q Exit immediately and leave the file unchanged.

^Z Suspend hunspell.

? Give help screen.

OPTIONS


-1 Check only first field in lines (delimiter = tabulator).

-a The -a option is intended to be used from other programs through a pipe. In this
mode, hunspell prints a one-line version identification message, and then begins
reading lines of input. For each input line, a single line is written to the
standard output for each word checked for spelling on the line. If the word was
found in the main dictionary, or your personal dictionary, then the line contains
only a '*'. If the word was found through affix removal, then the line contains a
'+', a space, and the root word. If the word was found through compound formation
(concatenation of two words, then the line contains only a '-'.

If the word is not in the dictionary, but there are near misses, then the line
contains an '&', a space, the misspelled word, a space, the number of near misses,
the number of characters between the beginning of the line and the beginning of the
misspelled word, a colon, another space, and a list of the near misses separated by
commas and spaces.

Also, each near miss or guess is capitalized the same as the input word unless such
capitalization is illegal; in the latter case each near miss is capitalized
correctly according to the dictionary.

Finally, if the word does not appear in the dictionary, and there are no near
misses, then the line contains a '#', a space, the misspelled word, a space, and
the character offset from the beginning of the line. Each sentence of text input
is terminated with an additional blank line, indicating that hunspell has completed
processing the input line.

These output lines can be summarized as follows:

OK: *

Root: + <root>

Compound:
-

Miss: & <original> <count> <offset>: <miss>, <miss>, ...

None: # <original> <offset>

For example, a dummy dictionary containing the words "fray", "Frey", "fry", and
"refried" might produce the following response to the command "echo 'frqy refries |
hunspell -a":
(#) Hunspell 0.4.1 (beta), 2005-05-26
& frqy 3 0: fray, Frey, fry
& refries 1 5: refried

This mode is also suitable for interactive use when you want to figure out the
spelling of a single word (but this is the default behavior of hunspell without -a,
too).

When in the -a mode, hunspell will also accept lines of single words prefixed with
any of '*', '&', '@', '+', '-', '~', '#', '!', '%', '`', or '^'. A line starting
with '*' tells hunspell to insert the word into the user's dictionary (similar to
the I command). A line starting with '&' tells hunspell to insert an all-lowercase
version of the word into the user's dictionary (similar to the U command). A line
starting with '@' causes hunspell to accept this word in the future (similar to the
A command). A line starting with '+', followed immediately by tex or nroff will
cause hunspell to parse future input according the syntax of that formatter. A
line consisting solely of a '+' will place hunspell in TeX/LaTeX mode (similar to
the -t option) and '-' returns hunspell to nroff/troff mode (but these commands are
obsolete). However, the string character type is not changed; the '~' command must
be used to do this. A line starting with '~' causes hunspell to set internal
parameters (in particular, the default string character type) based on the filename
given in the rest of the line. (A file suffix is sufficient, but the period must
be included. Instead of a file name or suffix, a unique name, as listed in the
language affix file, may be specified.) However, the formatter parsing is not
changed; the '+' command must be used to change the formatter. A line prefixed
with '#' will cause the personal dictionary to be saved. A line prefixed with '!'
will turn on terse mode (see below), and a line prefixed with '%' will return
hunspell to normal (non-terse) mode. A line prefixed with '`' will turn on
verbose-correction mode (see below); this mode can only be disabled by turning on
terse mode with '%'.

Any input following the prefix characters '+', '-', '#', '!', '%', or '`' is
ignored, as is any input following the filename on a '~' line. To allow spell-
checking of lines beginning with these characters, a line starting with '^' has
that character removed before it is passed to the spell-checking code. It is
recommended that programmatic interfaces prefix every data line with an uparrow to
protect themselves against future changes in hunspell.

To summarize these:

* Add to personal dictionary

@ Accept word, but leave out of dictionary

# Save current personal dictionary

~ Set parameters based on filename

+ Enter TeX mode

- Exit TeX mode

! Enter terse mode

% Exit terse mode

` Enter verbose-correction mode

^ Spell-check rest of line

In terse mode, hunspell will not print lines beginning with '*', '+', or '-', all
of which indicate correct words. This significantly improves running speed when
the driving program is going to ignore correct words anyway.

In verbose-correction mode, hunspell includes the original word immediately after
the indicator character in output lines beginning with '*', '+', and '-', which
simplifies interaction for some programs.

--check-apostrophe
Check and force Unicode apostrophes (U+2019), if one of the ASCII or Unicode
apostrophes is specified by the spelling dictionary, as a word character (see
WORDCHARS, ICONV and OCONV in hunspell(5)).

--check-url
Check URLs, e-mail addresses and directory paths.

-D Show detected path of the loaded dictionary, and list of the search path and the
available dictionaries.

-d dict,dict2,...
Set dictionaries by their base names with or without paths. Example of the syntax:

-d en_US,en_geo,en_med,de_DE,de_med

en_US and de_DE are base dictionaries, they consist of aff and dic file pairs: en_US.aff,
en_US.dic and de_DE.aff, de_DE.dic. En_geo, en_med, de_med are special dictionaries:
dictionaries without affix file. Special dictionaries are optional extension of the base
dictionaries usually with special (medical, law etc.) terms. There is no naming
convention for special dictionaries, only the ".dic" extension: dictionaries without affix
file will be an extension of the preceding base dictionary (right order of the parameter
list needs for good suggestions). First item of -d parameter list must be a base
dictionary.

-G Print only correct words or lines.

-H The input file is in SGML/HTML format.

-h, --help
Short help.

-i enc Set input encoding.

-L Print lines with misspelled words.

-l The "list" option is used to produce a list of misspelled words from the standard
input.

-m Analyze the words of the input text (see also hunspell(5) about morphological
analysis). Without dictionary morphological data, signs the flags of the affixes of
the word forms for dictionary developers.

-n The input file is in nroff/troff format.

-O The input file is in OpenDocument (ODF or Flat ODF) format. If unzip program is
not installed, install it before using this option.

-P password
Set password for encrypted dictionaries.

-p dict
Set path of personal dictionary. The default dictionary depends on the locale
settings. The following environment variables are searched: LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES,
and LANG. If none are set then the default personal dictionary is
$HOME/.hunspell_default.

Setting -d or the DICTIONARY environmental variable, personal dictionary will be
$HOME/.hunspell_dicname

-r Warn of the rare words, wich are also potential spelling mistakes.

-s Stem the words of the input text (see also hunspell(5) about stemming). It depends
from the dictionary data.

-t The input file is in TeX or LaTeX format.

-v, --version
Print version number.

-vv Print ispell(1) compatible version number.

-w Print misspelled words (= lines) from one word/line input.

-X The input file is in XML format.
