Description

The spellout command looks up each word from standard input and prints on standard output those that are missing from the hashed list file specified by the List parameter. The hashed list file is similar to the dictionary file used by the spell command.

Flags

Examples

To verify that the word hookey is not on the default spelling list, enter:

echo hookey | spellout /usr/share/dict/hlista
