Signature

(lookup-words WORD &optional LOOKUP-DICT)

Documentation

Look up WORD in optional word-list dictionary LOOKUP-DICT.

A * serves as a wild card. If no wild cards, look is used if it exists. Otherwise the variable ispell-grep-command contains the command
(usually "grep") used to search for the words.

Optional second argument contains the dictionary to use; the default is ispell-alternate-dictionary, overridden by ispell-complete-word-dict if defined. If none of LOOKUP-DICT, ispell-alternate-dictionary, and ispell-complete-word-dict name an existing word-list file, this function signals an error.
