17 Control arguments:
18 -brief, -bf
19 suppresses the warning message usually given when a word is not
20 found.
21 -dictionary, -dict
22 displays the pathname of the dictionary in which the word was found.
23 -exact_match, -exm
24 finds only those words that match a dictionary word exactly, i.e.,
25 no special processing is performed with respect to capitalization
26 see "Note" below.
27 -input_file path, -if path
28 finds words in the segment specified by path. Words in this segment
29 must be separated by newlines. This control argument may be
30 specified more than once.
31
32
33 -output_file path, -of path
34 writes words found into the segment specified by path instead of
35 displaying words on the user's terminal. Words are separated by
36 newlines in the output segment.
37 -raw
38 displays the words without indicating the no-trim attribute or
39 hyphenation points see add_dict_words command above. Otherwise,
40 words are printed in the format accepted by add_dict_words.
41 -word string
42 finds the word string even though string may look like a control
43 argument.

46 Notes: When searching for a word in a dictionary, special processing
47 of capital letters is performed unless the -exact_match control
48 argument is specified. This special processing is identical to that
49 performed by the trim_wordlist command below.
