.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
kodespel [\fB\-d\fP \fIdictionary\fP] \fIfile\fP [\fIfile\fP ...]
.sp
kodespel \fB\-\-list\-dicts\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
kodespel is a spellchecker for source code. kodespel\(aqs nifty trick
is that it knows how to split common programming identifiers like
\(aqgetAllStuff\(aq or \(aqDoThingsNow\(aq or \(aqnum_objects\(aq or \(aqHTTPResponse\(aq into
words, feed those to \fBispell\fP(1), and interpret ispell\(aqs output.
.sp
Basic usage is to run kodespel on one or more individual files
or directories:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
kodespel foo.py main.go README.md
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
kodespel uses a collection of dictionaries to spellcheck each file.
It always uses the \fBbase\fP dictionary, which is a set of words
common in source code across languages and platforms. Additionally,
there is a language\-specific dictionary for each language kodespel
knows about. Language\-specific dictionaries are automatically chosen
for you.
.sp
In this example, kodespell will spellcheck each file with:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBfoo.py\fP: dictionaries \fBbase\fP and \fBpython\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBmain.go\fP: dictionaries \fBbase\fP and \fBgo\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBREADME.md\fP: dictionary \fBbase\fP only (no language dictionary for Markdown)
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
If run on a directory, kodespel will recurse into that directory
and spellcheck every file that it recognizes:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
kodespel src/
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
will search for \fB*.py\fP, \fB*.c\fP, \fB*.h\fP, and any other
extension that kodespel has built\-in support for.
(Currently: Python, Perl, Go, C, C++, and Java).
Unsupported files are ignored, but if you pass those filenames
explicitly, they will be checked.
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
Note: the SlackBuilds.org package of \fBkodespel\fP includes a
\fBsbo\fP dictionary. It will only be used if you enable it
with \fB\-d sbo\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
kodespel ships with several other common dictionaries.
For example, if the program you are spellchecking uses
a lot of Unix system calls, you would add the \fBunix\fP dictionary:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
kodespel \-d unix foo.py main.go README.md
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fB\-d\fP option applies to every file being checked.
.sp
To see the list of all builtin dictionaries, run:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
kodespel \-\-list\-dicts
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Finally, you can create your own dictionaries,
and use as many of them as you like.
A dictionary is a plain text file with one word per line:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
$ cat myproject.dict
nargs
args
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
You can specify your personal dictionaries with \fB\-d\fP,
just like kodespel\(aqs builtin dictionaries:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
kodespel \-d unix \-d myproject.dict foo.py ...
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-h\fP,\fB \-\-help
Show built\-in help and exit.
.TP
.B \-a\fP,\fB \-\-all
Report every single misspelling [default: \fB\-\-unique\fP].
.TP
.B \-u\fP,\fB \-\-unique
Report each misspelling only once [default].
.TP
.BI \-d \ dict\fR,\fB \ \-\-dictionary\fB= dict
Use this dictionary. \fIdict\fP may be a filename or a dictionary name. Use
multiple times to include multiple dictionaries.
.TP
.B \-\-list\-dicts
List available dictionaries and exit.
.TP
.B \-\-dump\-dict
Build custom dictionary (respecting \fB\-d\fP options).
.TP
.BI \-\-make\-dict\fB= dictfile
Write unknown words to \fIdictfile\fP\&.
.TP
.BI \-i \ string\fR,\fB \ \-\-ignore\fB= regex
Ignore any words matching \fIregex\fP\&.
.TP
.B \-C\fP,\fB \-\-compound
Allow compound words (e.g. \fBgetall\fP) [default].
.TP
.B \-\-no\-compound
Do not allow compound words
.TP
.BI \-W \ N\fR,\fB \ \-\-wordlen\fB= N
Ignore words with <= \fIN\fP characters [default: 3].
.UNINDENT
.SH EXIT STATUS
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fB0\fP \- success; no misspellings found.
.IP \(bu 2
\fB1\fP \- at least one misspelling found \fIor\fP there was an error reading
one or more input file (including encoding errors for non\-UTF8 files).
.IP \(bu 2
\fB2\fP \- invalid command line option(s).
.UNINDENT
.SH FILES
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fB/usr/share/kodespel/\fP
The default dictionaries are stored here.
.UNINDENT
.SH LIMITATIONS
.sp
\fBkodespel\fP has no option to read from standard input. However, on Linux,
you can run \fBkodespel\fP \fB/dev/stdin\fP\&.
.sp
\fBkodespel\fP can only handle \fBUTF\-8\fP encoding (which includes 7\-bit \fBASCII\fP).
It will choke on files that use e.g. \fBISO\-8859\fP encoding.
.sp
\fBkodespel\fP writes its output to \fBstderr\fP, not \fBstdout\fP\&. This makes
it difficult to use it from a script. Try e.g:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
kodespel <args> 2>&1 | <command>
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Also, if you get exit status 1, you can\(aqt tell if that\(aqs an actual error
or misspellings were found, without examining the actual output.
