|
|
|
|
is a symbolic link to
|
|
<I>/etc/dictionaries-common/words</I>,
|
|
|

|
See
|

<P>
|
|
|
|
The directory
|
|
<I>/usr/share/dict</I>
|
|
|
|
can contain word lists for many languages, with name of the language
|
|
in English, e.g.,
|
|
<I>/usr/share/dict/french</I>
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
<I>/usr/share/dict/danish</I>
|
|
|
|
contain respectively lists of French and Danish words if they exist.
|
|
Such lists should be coded using the ISO 8859-1 character set encoding.

The words lists are not specific, and may be generated from any number
|
|
of sources.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The system word list used to be
|
|
<I>/usr/dict/words</I>.
|
|
|
|
For compatibility, software should check that location if
|
|
<I>/usr/share/dict/words</I>
|
|
|
|
does not exist.

Word lists are collected and maintained by various authors.
|
|
The Debian English word lists are built from the SCOWL (Spell-
|
|
Checker Oriented Word Lists) package, whose upstream editor is
