ispell: Display the version.
$ ispell -v
try on your machine

The command "ispell -v" is used to check the version of iSpell, a spell-checking program installed on the system.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "ispell" is the name of the command or executable to be executed.
  • "-v" is an option or flag that stands for "verbose" in this context. It instructs the iSpell program to display more detailed information about its version.

When you run this command in a terminal or command prompt, the output will typically include information such as the iSpell version number, any additional dictionaries or language packs installed, and other relevant details about the program.

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.
