<h2 class="chapter">4 Customizing Aspell</h2>
<p>The behavior of Aspell can be changed by any number of options which
can be specified at either the command line, the environment variable
<samp><span class="env">ASPELL_CONF</span></samp>, a personal configuration file, or a global
configuration file. Options specified on the command line override
options specified by the environment variable. Options specified by
the environment variable override options specified by either of the
configuration files. Finally options specified by the personal
configuration file override options specified in the global
configuration file. Options specified in the environment variable
<samp><span class="env">ASPELL_CONF</span></samp>, a personal configuration file, or a global
configuration file will take effect no matter how Aspell is used which
includes being used by other applications.
<p>Aspell has three basic types of options: <dfn>boolean</dfn>, <dfn>value</dfn>,
and <dfn>list</dfn>.
<p><dfn>Boolean</dfn> options are either enabled or disabled, <dfn>value</dfn>
options take a specific value, and <dfn>list</dfn> options can either have
entries added or removed from the list.
