WORD-LIST-COMPRESS(1) Aspell Abbreviated User's Manual WORD-LIST-COMPRESS(1) NAME word-list-compress - word list compressor/decompressor for GNU Aspell SYNOPSIS word-list-compress c[ompress] | d[ecompress] DESCRIPTION word-list-compress compresses or decompresses sorted word lists for use with the GNU Aspell spell checker. COMMANDS -c, c, compress compress the plain text word list read from standard input. -d, d, decompress decompress the compressed word list read from standard input. EXAMPLES Here are a few examples of how you can use word-list-compress word-list-compress d <wordlist.cwl >wordlist.txt Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file wordlist.txt word-list-compress c <wordlist.wl >wordlist.cwl 2>errors.txt Compress wordlist.wl to wordlist.cwl and send any error messages to a text file named errors.txt LC_COLLATE=C sort -u <wordlist.txt | word-list-compress c >wordlist.cwl Sort a word list, then pipe it to word-list-compress to create a compressed binary wordlist.cwl file. word-list-compress d <words.cwl | aspell create master ./words.rws Decompress a wordlist, then pipe it to aspell(1) to create a spelling list. Please check the aspell(1) info manual for proper usage and options. TIPS Word-list-compress is best used with sorted word list type files. It is not a general purpose compression program since the resulting files may ac- tually increase in size. Word-list-compress accepts up to 255 text characters in the range of {0x21...0xFF}. If your word list requires a larger character set for cer- tain languages or longer length for multi-word, scientific, medical, tech- nical or other use, then it is recommended that you compress your word list using prezip-bin(1) DIAGNOSTICS Word-list-compress normally exits with a return code of 0. If it encoun- ters an error, a message is sent to standard error output (stderr), and word-list-compress exits with a non-zero return value. Error messages are listed below: (display help/usage message) Unknown command given on the command line so word-list-compress dis- plays a usage message to standard error output. Corrupt Input This is only for the decompression command d. The input file is of an unknown format or the input file/stream is corrupted. You may have some valid output, but word-list-compress could not complete the process. If the input file is a compressed wordlist but you have no output file, then it may be a newer prezip-bin(1) version of compressed file, if so, try decompressing the file with prezip-bin(1) instead. Output Data Error The output is full, write protected, or has an error and can no longer be written to.
