SYNOPSIS

pell spell checker.

-d, d, decompress

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 actually 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 certain languages or longer length for
multi-word, scientific, medical, technical 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 encounters 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 displays a usage
message to standard error output.
Corrupt Input
This is only for the decompression command d. The input file is of an unknown for-
mat 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 com-
pressed 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.
