The enchant command is a command-line interface to the Enchant spellchecking library.
It enables you to spellcheck individual words or entire files directly from the terminal. Enchant supports a variety of dictionaries and languages, making it a versatile tool for text editing and document preparation.
With enchant, you can check for misspelled words, suggest corrections, add words to personal dictionaries, and retrieve information about the dictionaries available on your system.
The command primarily interacts with Enchant's spellchecking backend and provides a convenient way to utilize its features in scripts and command-line workflows.
While enchant is powerful, it relies on properly configured dictionary resources to function effectively. Configuration files, typically located in /etc/enchant or $HOME/.config/enchant, define the dictionary providers, language settings, and search paths used by Enchant.

Enchant relies on properly installed and configured dictionary files.
Incorrect dictionary configuration can lead to inaccurate spellchecking.
The exact behavior of options may vary slightly depending on the version of Enchant installed.

To check a single word: enchant hello.
To spellcheck a file: enchant my_document.txt.
To check a file with replacement enchant -p my_document.txt

Enchant uses configuration files to determine which dictionaries to use.
These files are typically located in /etc/enchant or $HOME/.config/enchant.
You can customize these files to add or remove dictionaries, or to change the default language.
