DESCRIPTION

Provides spell-checker base functions -- server, client, utility functions. The actual spellchecker should be implemented independently on top of it.

Methods are:

server_run ()

Runs the spellchecker server that clients can connect to. Never returns.

switch_index ($)

Switches the spellchecker to a different index. This has an effect of creating another copy of spellchecker where supported, possibly connected to a different dictionary.

By default it simply stores new index into $self->{'current_index'}. Returns old index value.

client_connect ()

Internal method. Connects to the spelling server.

local_suggest_replacements ()

Pure virtual method, needs to be overriden by a specific spellchecker.

EXPORTS

Nothing.
