6.1 Through the C API

The Aspell library contains two main classes and several helper classes. The two main classes are AspellConfig and AspellSpeller. The AspellConfig class is used to set initial defaults and to change spell checker specific options. The AspellSpeller class does most of the real work. The C API is responsible for managing the dictionaries, checking if a word is in the dictionary, and coming up with suggestions among other things. There are many helper classes the important ones are AspellWordList, AspellMutableWordList, Aspell*Enumeration. The AspellWordList classes is used for accessing the suggestion list, as well as the personal and suggestion word list currently in use. The AspellMutableWordList is used to manage the personal, and perhaps other, word lists. The Aspell*Enumeration classes are used for iterating through a list.
