hunspell: Check the spelling of a file with the en_US dictionary.
$ hunspell -d ${en_US} ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "hunspell -d ${en_US} ${filename}" is used to run the Hunspell spell checker program with a specific dictionary and on a specific file.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "hunspell" is the command to run the Hunspell program.
- "-d ${en_US}" is an option provided to specify the dictionary to be used. In this case, "${en_US}" represents the dictionary file for the American English language.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the file that you want to check for spelling errors. You would replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file.
So when you run this command, Hunspell will be launched with the specified dictionary (en_US) and will perform a spell check on the given file.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
