# This script intends to facilitate spell checking of source/doc files.
# It:
# - transforms the files into a list of lowercase words
# - prefixes each word with the frequency
# - filters out words within a frequency range
# - sorts the words, longest first
#
# If '-c' is passed as option, it operates on the C comments only, rather than
# on the entire file.
#
# For:
# ...
# $ files=$(find gdb -type f -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h")
# $ ./gdb/contrib/words.sh -c $files
# ...
# it generates a list of ~15000 words prefixed with frequency.
#
# This could be used to generate a dictionary that is kept as part of the
# sources, against which new code can be checked, generating a warning or
# error. The hope is that misspellings would trigger this frequently, and rare
# words rarely, otherwise the burden of updating the dictionary would be too
# much.
#
# And for:
# ...
# $ files=$(find gdb -type f -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h")
# $ ./gdb/contrib/words.sh -c -f 1 $files
# ...
# it generates a list of ~5000 words with frequency 1.
#
# This can be used to scan for misspellings manually.
