### e_spell_dictionary_hash ()

    guint
    e_spell_dictionary_hash (ESpellDictionary *dictionary);

Generates a hash value for `dictionary` based on its ISO code. This function is intended for easily hashing an ESpellDictionary to add to a GHashTable or similar data structure.

#### Parameters

dictionary | an ESpellDictionary |

#### Returns

a hash value for `dictionary`

### e_spell_dictionary_equal ()

    gboolean
    e_spell_dictionary_equal (ESpellDictionary *dictionary1,

                                ESpellDictionary *dictionary2);

Compares `dictionary1` and `dictionary2` by their display names for the purpose of lexicographical sorting. Use this function where a GCompareFunc callback is required, such as `g_list_sort()`.

#### Parameters

#### Returns

0 if the names match, a negative value if `dictionary1` < `dictionary2` , or a positive value of `dictionary1` > `dictionary2`

### e_spell_dictionary_ref_spell_checker ()

    struct _ESpellChecker *

                                   gsize length);

Tries to lookup the `word` in the `dictionary` to check whether it's spelled correctly or not.

#### Parameters

### e_spell_dictionary_learn_word ()

    void
    e_spell_dictionary_learn_word (ESpellDictionary *dictionary,
