.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Sphinx is a collection of programs that aim to provide high quality fulltext search\&.
.PP
spelldump is used to extract the contents of a dictionary file that uses ispell or MySpell format, which can help build word lists for wordforms \- all of the possible forms are pre\-built for you\&.
.PP
The two main parameters are the dictionary\*(Aqs main file and its affix file; usually these are named as
[language\-prefix]\&.dict
and
[language\-prefix]\&.aff
and will be available with most common Linux distributions, as well as various places online\&.
\fB[result]\fR
specifies where the dictionary data should be output to, and
\fB[locale\-name]\fR
additionally specifies the locale details you wish to use\&.
.PP
Examples of its usage are:
.PP
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
spelldump en\&.dict en\&.aff
spelldump ru\&.dict ru\&.aff ru\&.txt ru_RU\&.CP1251
spelldump ru\&.dict ru\&.aff ru\&.txt \&.1251
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
The results file will contain a list of all the words in the dictionary in alphabetical order, output in the format of a wordforms file, which you can use to customise for your specific circumstances\&.
