–v Writes to stdout all words not literally in the dictionary. This is the default
for this implementation because it doesn’t apply suffix/prefix rules to derive
words.
–x Writes each plausible word stem to stdout. Because this implementation of
spell doesn’t derive words, all words are their own word stems.
+ local Uses the file local as a dictionary of local words, given one word per line.
This is synonymous with –f.
By default, spell does not sort the output. This maintains the order and number of
occurrences of spelling errors. The following command checks for spelling errors,
puts them in dictionary order, removes duplicates, and print them in a multicolumn
format:
spell file | sort –dfu | c
spell uses the following localization environment variables:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
v LC_CTYPE
v LC_MESSAGES
v LC_SYNTAX
v NLSPATH
See Appendix F for more information.
0 Successful completion
1 Failure due to any of the following:
v Missing hashfile name after –d
v Missing history filename after –h
v Missing local filename after –f
v Inability to open the local file
v Receipt of user interrupt
v An error reading the dictionary file
A spelling mistake is not considered an error.
2 Incorrect command-line option
