NAME
	   select-default-ispell - select default ispell dictionary

SYNOPSIS
	select-default-ispell [options]

	 Options (all long only options):
	   --set-default='regexp' Try 'regexp' to get a single match and set
				  it as default. Fail otherwise.
	   --show-choices	  Show available choices to STDERR and exit.
	   --debug		  Enable debug mode

DESCRIPTION
       This program is responsible for selecting default ispell dictionary.

       If --show-choices is used will just output a list of available choices to STDERR and exit.  STDOUT cannot be used,
       this program loads debconf and debconf captures STDOUT.

       If --set-default is used, program will try to get a single regexp match from available choices, failing if not.	Will
       try case dependent match first, then case independent.

       If --set-default is not used this program will make debconf always ask the shared question about the default ispell
       dictionary to be used in your system according to the installed ones.

       In both cases, will do the appropriate settings if needed.

       Calls internally update-default-ispell.
