SPELL(1)                    General Commands Manual                   SPELL(1)

NAME
       spell - print all words in a file not present in the dictionary

SYNOPSIS
       spell file

EXAMPLES
       spell document      # Print the spelling errors on stdout

DESCRIPTION
       Spell  is  the  MINIX 3 spelling checker.  It is actually a short shell
       script.  First, the program prep strips off the roff, nroff, and  troff
       control  lines,  and the punctuation, and lists each word on a separate
       line.  These words are then  sorted.   The  resulting  output  is  then
       compared  to the dictionary.  Words present in the file but not present
       in the dictionary are  listed.   The  dictionary  must  be  located  in
       /usr/lib/dict/words.

SEE ALSO
       nroff(1), prep(1).
