hunspell: Check the spelling of a file.
$ hunspell ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "hunspell ${filename}" is used to check the spelling and grammar of a specified file using the "hunspell" spell-checking program.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "hunspell" refers to the spell-checking program called "hunspell". Hunspell is commonly used in various applications, such as text editors or word processors, to provide spell-checking capabilities.

  • "${filename}" represents a variable that should be replaced with the actual filename or path to the file you want to spell-check. The variable notation "${}" is commonly used in command-line interfaces to denote a variable.

By running this command with an actual filename, the hunspell program will open the specified file and perform spell-checking and grammar checks on its content. It will then provide a report on any misspelled words, grammar errors, or other issues found in the file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
