<p>To find out the current value of all the options use the command
<samp><span class="command">aspell dump config</span></samp>. This will dump the current Aspell
configuration to standard output. The format of the contents dumped
is such that it can be used as either the global or your personal
configuration file.
<p>To find out the current value of a particular option use
<samp><span class="command">aspell config </span><var>option</var></samp>. This will print out the value of
<var>option</var> to <code>stdout</code> and nothing else.
