NAME

       codespell - detect spelling mistakes in source code

SYNOPSIS

       codespell [OPTIONS] [file1 file2 ... fileN]

DESCRIPTION

       codespell  is  designed to find and fix common misspellings in text files.  It is designed
       primarily for checking misspelled words in source code, but it  can  be  used  with  other
       files as well.

OPTIONS

       --version
              show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -d, --disable-colors
              Disable colors even when printing to terminal

       -c, --enable-colors
              Enable colors even when not printing to terminal

       -w, --write-changes
              write changes in place if possible

       -D FILE, --dictionary=FILE
              Custom  dictionary  file  that  contains  spelling corrections. If this flag is not
              specified then default dictionary "/usr/share/codespell/dictionary.txt" is used.

       -s, --summary
              print summary of fixes

       -S SKIP, --skip=SKIP
              Comma-separated list of files to skip. It accepts globs as well. E.g.: if you  want
              codespell to skip .eps and .txt files, you'd give "*.eps,*.txt" to this option.

       -x FILE, --exclude-file=FILE
              FILE with lines that should not be changed

       -i INTERACTIVE, --interactive=INTERACTIVE
              Set  interactive  mode  when  writing changes. 0 is the same of no interactivity; 1
              makes codespell ask confirmation; 2 ask user to choose one fix when more  than  one
              is available; 3 applies both 1 and 2

       -q QUIET_LEVEL, --quiet-level=QUIET_LEVEL
              Bitmask that allows codespell to run quietly. 0: the default, in which all messages
              are printed. 1: disable warnings about wrong encoding. 2:  disable  warnings  about
              binary  file.  4:  shut  down  warnings about automatic fixes that were disabled in
              dictionary. 8: don't print anything for non-automatic fixes. 16: don't print  fixed
              files.

       -e, --hard-encoding-detection
              Use  chardet to detect the encoding of each file. This can slow down codespell, but
              is more reliable in detecting encodings other than utf-8, iso8859-1 and ascii.
