--affixfile=s
Affix file. You can put it directly in the command line.
--bylocale
Use current locale setup for upper/lowercase conversion. Make sure that the selected locale match
the dictionary one, or you might get into trouble.
--charset=s
Use specified charset for upper/lowercase conversion (defaults to latin1). Currently allowed
values for charset are: latin0, latin1, latin2, latin3.
--debug Print some debugging info.
--extraflags:s
Allows some non alphabetic flags.
When invoked with no value the supported flags are currently those corresponding to chars
represented with the escape char \ as first char. \ will be stripped.
When given with the flag prefix will allow that flag and strip the given prefix. Be careful when
giving the prefix to properly escape chars, e.g. you will need -e"\\\\" or -e'\\' for flags
like \[ to be stripped to [. Otherwise you might even get errors. Use -e"^" to allow all flags
and pass them unmodified.
You will need a call to -e for each flag type, e.g., -e"\\\\"-e"~\\\\" (or -e'\\'-e'~\\').
When a prefix is explicitly set, the default value (anything starting by \) is disabled and you
need to enable it explicitly as in previous example.
--lowercase=s
Lowercase string. Manually set the string of lowercase chars. This requires --uppercase having
exactly that string but uppercase.
--myheader=s
Header file. The myspell aff header. You need to write it manually. This can contain everything
you want to be before the affix table
--printcomments
Print commented lines in output.
--replacements=file
Add a pre-defined replacements table taken from 'file' to the .aff file. Will skip lines not
beginning with REP, and set the replacements number appropriately.
--split=i
Split flags with more that i entries. This can be of interest for flags having a lot of entries.
Will split the flag in chunks containing i entries.
--uppercase=s
Uppercase string. Manually set the sring of uppercase chars. This requires --lowercase having
exactly that string but lowercase.
If your encoding is currently unsupported you can send me a separate file with the two strings of lower
and uppercase chars. Note that they must match exactly but case changed. It will look something like
$lowercase='a-zàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõöøùúûüýþ';
$uppercase='A-ZÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞ';
A safer alternative against accidental recoding is to use octal codes for non 7bit chars. Above strings
would then look like
$lowercase='a-z\340\341\342\343\344\345\346\347\350\351\352\353\354\355\356\357\360\361\362\363\364\365\366\370\371\372\373\374\375\376';
$uppercase='A-Z\300\301\302\303\304\305\306\307\310\311\312\313\314\315\316\317\320\321\322\323\324\325\326\330\331\332\333\334\335\336';
