Install ispell with your favorite package-manager (on manually), as long as ispell in available in the PATH environment variable sp will find the executable to run.

Installation

Build the tool using the following command:

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

If you wish to install it into /usr/local/ you will have to provide the prefix argument:

sudo zig build install -p /usr/local/ -Doptimize=ReleaseFast

This was build using zig 0.12.0.dev but should work with the most recent version of zig.

Add the build sp executable in your PATH environment or install it using the prefix argument to easily invoke the tool.

Usage

sp <word> to check the provided word. Returns the correct spelling of the word. In case of a misspelling the first suggestion of ispell is automatically choosen and returned. The <word> may also be provided instead using pipes.

sp pple
# is equivalent to
echo pple | sp

When running the installation you also install the man page for sp. In case you installed in /usr/local/ as the prefix argument you can simply run

man sp
