OPTIONS

-d dictionary

use that dictionary. Several dictionaries may be given. At least one dictionary must be specified. Dictionaries are transducers built using tr_ubuild or tr_build.

-e edit_distance
if the word is not in the dictionaries, look for words that lie within the specified distance. The edit distance  is a number of basic editing operations needed to transform one string into another. Those operations are: inserting one character, deleting one character, changing one character, and transposing two adjacent characters.

-l language_file
specifies the name of of file containing language specific information on characters (letters). The first character of language file is a comment character; all lines beginning with that character are ignored. The first data line is a sequence of all characters valid in words (default: letters). The second data line contains a sequence of pairs of letters, lowercase letter first, then uppercase, and so on.

If the option is not present, standard case conversions apply.

-i input_file
specifies input file to be used instead of the standard input.

-v
prints version details.
