PREZIP-BIN(1) Aspell Abbreviated User's Manual PREZIP-BIN(1) NAME
prezip-bin - prefix zip delta word list compressor/decompressor SYNOPSIS
prezip-bin [ -V | -d | -z ] DESCRIPTION
prezip-bin compresses/decompresses sorted word lists from standard input to standard output. Prezip-bin is similar to word-list-compress(1) but it allows a larger character set of {0x00...0x09, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0E...0xFF} and multi-words larger than 255 characters in length. It can also decompress word-list-compress(1) compatible files. COMMANDS
Prezip-bin accepts only one of these commands. -V Display prezip-bin version number to standard output. -d Read a compressed word list from standard input and decompress it to standard output. This can be a word-list-compress(1) or a prezip-bin compressed file. -z Read a binary word list from standard input and compress it to standard output. EXAMPLES
prezip-bin -d <wordlist.cwl >wordlist.txt Decompress file wordlist.cwl to text file wordlist.txt prezip-bin -z <wordlist.txt >wordlist.pz 2>errors.txt Compress wordlist.txt to binary file wordlist.pz and send any error messages to a text file named errors.txt LC_COLLATE=C sort -u <wordlist.txt | prezip-bin -z >wordlist.pz Sort a word list, then pipe it to prezip-bin to create a compressed binary wordlist.pz file. prezip-bin -d <words.pz | aspell create master ./words.rws Decompress a wordlist, then pipe it to aspell(1) to create a spelling list. Please check the aspell(1) info manual for proper usage and options. TIPS
Prezip-bin is best used with sorted word list type files. It is not a general purpose compression program since resulting files may actu- ally increase in size. Unlike word-list-compress(1) if your word list has leading or trailing blank spaces for formatting purposes, you should remove them first before you compress your list using prezip-bin -z , otherwise those spaces will be included in the compressed binary output. DIAGNOSTICS
Prezip-bin normally exits with a return code of 0. If it encounters an error, a message is sent to standard error output (stderr), and prezip-bin exits with a non-zero return value. Error messages are listed below: (display help/usage message) Unknown command given on the command line so prezip-bin displays a usage message to standard error output. unknown format The input file appears not to be an expected format, or may possibly be a more advanced format. The output file will be empty. corrupt input This is only for the decompression command -d. The input file appeared to be of a correct format, but something appears wrong now. There may be some valid data in output, but due to input corruption, the rest of the file can not be completed. unexpected EOF The input file appeared okay but ended sooner than expected, therefore the output file is not complete.

ASPELL-AUTOBUILDHASH(8) ASPELL-AUTOBUILDHASH(8) NAME
aspell-autobuildhash - Autobuilding aspell hash files for some dicts SYNOPSIS
aspell-autobuildhash [--force] Options: --debug Show extra info about aspell-autobuildhash internal work. Will also enable aspell affix validation. --dry-run Show what would be done, but do nothing real. --force Rebuild the hash file for all dicts providing a compat file skipping the test. --triggered Tell the script that is run in the triggers stage. DESCRIPTION
aspell-autobuildhash is a script that will manage aspell hash files autobuild, intended to be called from the dictionaries-common tools. Depending on the aspell compatibility level and on the compatibility level used for the hash file if present, will decide whether it must be rebuilt or not. This script will only work on aspell packages prepared to use it, it will do nothing for other aspell dict packages. OPTIONS
--debug Show some extra information about aspell-autobuildhash internal work. Will also enable aspell affix validation. --dry-run Show what would be done, but do nothing real. --force Rebuild the hash file for all dicts providing a compat file regardless of the compatibility levels found. --triggered Tell the script that is run in the triggers stage. When run under dpkg control, do not try to set the 'aspell-autobuildhash' trigger, but run real B<aspell-autobuildhash> code. When not run under dpkg control, real code will always be run and '--triggered' option has no real effect. PACKAGE MAINTAINERS
To use this system, aspell-autobuildhash expects a $lang.compat file in /var/lib/aspell ($lang stands for the lang basename with variant if any, e.g. $lang is something like gl-minimos or en)) containing aspell compatibility version for last successful build or "0" or en empty file if hash is to be rebuild, as is for dictionary instalation and upgrades. When upgrading aspell, script will check if version in $lang.compat is different from aspell.compat and rebuild if so, updating $lang.compat with the new value. Wordlists should previously be compressed either with gzip (and their extensions set as .mwl.gz or .wl.gz) or preferably first with aspell prezip and then gzipped (with .cwl.gz extension). This applies both for plain wordlists and munched wordlists (in the ispell way) if you use affix compression. If your package will provide a single hash, install prezipped+gzipped wordlist as /usr/share/aspell/$lang.cwl.gz or, if prezip is not used, as /usr/share/aspell/$lang.mwl.gz. If your package will provide more than one aspell hash for the same $lang, you will need to place each compressed wordlist as e.g. /usr/share/aspell/$subdict.cwl.gz, and the common $lang.compat as above. Then create a /usr/share/aspell/$lang.contents file with the base names of the subdicts, one in a line. For English that will contain, amongst other possible lines en-common en-variant_0 en-variant_1 en-variant_2 en_CA-w_accents-only No need to use this file if a single hash is being created. Dictionaries-common scripts will call internally this script and create a single hash file at /var/lib/ispell/$lang.rws, or hash files at /var/lib/ispell/$subdict.rws. You must set a symlink to that files from /usr/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or /usr/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws as appropriate. Aspell dictionary packages using this script must make sure that $lang.compat is reset on every new install/upgrade, so hash is rebuilt. They must also make sure that $lang.compat and all of /var/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or /var/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws are removed on package removal. As of version 1.10, installdeb-aspell script will understand 'auto-compat' and 'auto-contents' fields in $dict.info-aspell file to help with this by adding needed debhelper snippets. Put in that entry the base name(s) of your compat and contents file(s) and carefully check resulting maintainer scripts after build. Note that you are no longer suggested to ship empty files at any of /var/lib/aspell/$lang.compat, /var/lib/aspell/$lang.rws or /var/lib/aspell/$subdict.rws, but explicitly create/update them on install and explicitly remove them on removal. aspell maintainer should also call this script from package postinst. When comparing versions it will get the aspell version from file /usr/share/aspell/aspell.compat. AUTHORS
