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.
