Package: libenchant1c2a
Version: 1.4.2-3.3
Severity: normal
Man page for enchant does not mention option -d (nor -h).
$ enchant -h
Usage: enchant [options] -a|-d dict|-l|-L|-m|-v[v]|<file>
-a lists alternatives.
-d dict uses dictionary <dict>.
-l lists misspellings.
-m is ignored.
-L displays line numbers.
-v displays program version.
Furhermore enchant -d fi and -d fi_FI do not produce the same result.
Looks like -d fi works as expected, -d fi_FI makes strange results.
In the following test material first two lines are Finnish, rest is
English and I expect enchant -l to report those english words.
$ cat test-material-for-enchant-2.txt

Tietoa tästä ohjeesta
This manual was created for Sarge's debian-installer, based on the
Woody
installation manual for boot-floppies, which was based on earlier
Debian
installation manuals, and on the Progeny distribution manual which was
released under GPL in 2003.

$ enchant -l -d fi_FI < test-material-for-enchant-2.txt
With -d fi_FI I get an empty listing.
$ enchant-lsmod -list-dicts
fi (voikko)
en (ispell)
en_PH (ispell)
en_US (ispell)
fi_FI (myspell)
tr (zemberek)
According to enchant-lsmod, a different backend is used for fi_FI than
for fi. This seems strange, and not what I expected to happen with
this encant.ordering (which is the original, did not modify it):
cat /usr/share/enchant/enchant.ordering
*:myspell,aspell,ispell
fi:voikko,ispell,myspell,aspell
fi_FI:voikko,ispell,myspell,aspell
he:hspell,myspell
he_IL:hspell,myspell
yi:uspell
tr:zemberek
tr_TR:zemberek
At least the man pages needs more material. Maybe the program works as
intended, but the docs should document the intentions.
