NAME
       Enchant - a spellchecker

SYNOPSIS
       enchant-2 -a|-l|-h|-v [-L] [-d DICTIONARY] [FILE]

DESCRIPTION
       Enchant is an ispell-compatible spellchecker.

       -d DICTIONARY
	      use the given dictionary

       -a     list suggestions in ispell pipe mode format

       -l     list only	the misspellings

       -L     display line numbers

       -h     display help and exit

       -v     display version information and exit

ENCHANT	ORDERING FILE
       Enchant	uses global and	per-user ordering files	named enchant.ordering
       to decide which spelling	provider to use	for particular languages.  The
       per-user	file takes precedence.

       The ordering file takes the form	language_tag:<comma-separated list  of
       spelling	 providers>. To	see what providers are available, run enchant-
       lsmod-2.	'*' is used to mean "use this ordering for all languages,  un-
       less instructed otherwise." For example:

       *:aspell,hunspell,nuspell
       en:aspell,hunspell,nuspell
       en_GB:hunspell,nuspell,aspell
       fr:hunspell,nuspell,aspell

FILES AND DIRECTORIES
       Enchant looks in	the following places for files,	in decreasing order of
       precedence:

       ENCHANT_CONFIG_DIR
	      (If the environment variable is set.)

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME/enchant (non-Windows systems)
	      Default: ~/.config/enchant

       CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA\enchant (Windows systems)
	      Default:	C:\Documents  and Settings\username\Local Settings\Ap-
	      plication	Data\enchant

       ${prefix}/share/enchant
	      (Or the equivalent location relative to the enchant library  for
	      a	relocatable build.)

       Dictionaries are	looked for in a	subdirectory with the same name	as the
       provider;  for  example,	 ${prefix}/share/enchant/hunspell  and ~/.con-
       fig/enchant/hunspell.

       Some providers may also look in a standard system directory  for	 their
       dictionaries; the hunspell provider can be configured to	do so at build
       time.
