hashmake(1)                                                     hashmake(1)

NAME
     hashmake - create hashed spelling list

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/spell/hashmake

DESCRIPTION
     hashmake, hashcheck and spellin are a group of auxiliary routines for
     the spell-checking program spell. The spell command uses spelling
     lists to determine the correct spelling of words. You can use the aux-
     iliary routines to maintain and extend the existing spelling lists and
     to create new lists.

     hashmake reads a list of words from standard input and writes the
     coded words to standard output in the form of a hash list. The hashing
     technique generates a nine-digit hash code.

     This is the first step in creating a new spelling list [see spell(1)]
     or adding new words to an existing list.

     hashmake must always be used before spellin.
