<h3 class="section">5.4 Dumping the Contents of the Word List</h3>
<p>The dump command in <samp><span class="command">aspell</span></samp> will simply dump the contents of
a word list to <samp><span class="file">stdout</span></samp> in a format that can be read back in with
<samp><span class="command">aspell create</span></samp>.
<p>If no word list is specified the command will act on the default one.
For example the command
<pre class="example"> aspell dump personal
</pre>
<p class="noindent">will simply dump the contents of the current personal word list to
<samp><span class="file">stdout</span></samp>.
