NAME
       enchant - a spell checker

SYNOPSIS
       enchant [-a] [-d dictionary] [-l] [-L] [-v] [file]

DESCRIPTION
       enchant is an ispell-compatible spellchecker.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -a		       List alternatives.

       -d dictionary	       Uses the specified dictionary.

       -l		       List only the misspellings.

       -L		       Include line numbers in the output.

       -v		       Displays version information.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       file		       The  text file to be checked. If this parameter
			       is not specified, then standard input is used.

FILES
       The following files are used by this application:

       enchant.ordering;       Enchant has a global and	 a  per-user  ordering
			       file  named enchant.ordering. It	 lets the user
			       specify which spelling backend to use for indi‐
			       vidual  languages  in  the  case	 when you care
			       which backend gets used.	 The  global  file  is
			       located	in  $(datadir)/enchant	and  the  per-
			       user  file  is  located	 in  ~/.enchant.   The
			       per-user file takes precedence, if found.

			       The   ordering	file   takes  the  form	  lan‐
			       guage_tag:.  Currently  it  supports  following
			       backends:  aspell,  myspell,  ispell,   uspell,
			       hspell.	The  comma-separated  list   may   not
			       include	spaces.	 '*' is used to mean "use this
			       ordering for all languages,  unless  instructed
			       otherwise." For example:

			       *:aspell,myspell,ispell
			       en:aspell,myspell,ispell
			       en_UK:myspell,aspell,ispell
			       fr:myspell,ispell:aspell

NOTES
       Unless configured otherwise, Enchant's  Myspell,	 Ispell,   and	Uspell
       backends	  will	 look  for  dictionaries  in  directories  specific to
       Enchant,	 and  will  not	 use  your  system-wide installed   dictionar‐
       ies.  This  is  for  pragmatic reasons since many distributions install
       these dictionaries into different locations.

       Like the	 enchant.ordering  file	 described  above,  Enchant looks   in
       the  global  directory for these dictionaries and a per-user directory.
       The per-user directory takes precedence	if   it	  is  found.   Enchant
       looks   for  Myspell  dictionaries  in  $(datadir)/enchant/myspell  and
       ~/.enchant/myspell.    Enchant  looks   for   Ispell  dictionaries   in
       $(datadir)/enchant/ispell  and	~/.enchant/ispell.  Enchant  looks for
       Uspell	 dic-	 tionaries     in    $(datadir)/enchant/uspell	   and
       ~/.enchant/uspell.

       Packagers  and  users  may wish to make symbolic links  to  the system-
       wide  dictionary directories. Or, preferably, use  the  --with-myspell-
       dir, --with-ispell-dir, and --with-uspell-dir 'configure' arguments.
