FSERR (FIND_SPELLING_ERRORS) -- Find spelling errors.
usage: FSERR [pathname...] [-F] [-N] [-U] [-S] [-C pathname ] [-D pathname]
FORMAT
FSERR [pathname ...] [options]
FSERR copies the named files line-by-line to standard output, while looking
up each word in a dictionary. If it finds any spelling errors on a line,
or if it finds words that are not in the spelling dictionary, FSERR prints
the line containing the questionable word and asks whether or not the word
is spelled correctly. If you indicate that the word is misspelled, you are
prompted for the correct spelling. FSERR corrects the spelling on standard
output and continues.
ARGUMENT
pathname
(optional) Specify file containing text to be checked. Multiple
pathnames are permitted separated by blanks.
Default if omitted: read standard input.
OPTIONS
-F Process words just after a period ('.') in column 1 (i.e.
'FMT' directives). The default is to ignore such "words".
-N Process digits. The default is to ignore digits.
-U Underline misspelled words instead of prompting for
correction or verification.
-S Collect and print statistics on dictionary use.
-C pathname Write words that are not in the dictionary, but are
correctly spelled, into 'pathname'.
-D pathname Add the words in the file 'pathname' to the dictionary used
for this run.
