It uses the same spellcheck algorithm and data set as +B<lintian>. + +If no file is specified on the command line, this command expects +its input on stdin. + + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over 4 + +=item B<--picky> + +Also use the "picky" data set on top of the regular spelling data set. +The "picky" data set also includes a lot of capitalization related +rules (like spelling "Debian" with an uppercase "D"). + +Note however that these checks can have false positives. As an +example, consider the following those uses of Python "the python +binary" (e.g. /usr/bin/python) and "the Python language". The +B<--picky> option will unconditionally flag the use of "python" in the +first case as bad despite being correct. + +=item B<-h>, B<--help> + +Display usage information and exit. + +=item B<--version> + +Print a version banner and exit. + +=back + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<lintian(1)> + +=head1 AUTHORS + +Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> (wrote the manpage) + +Jakub Wilk <jwilk@jwilk.net> (wrote the program) + +=cut + |
