= NAME =

atdtool - After the Deadline command-line tool



= SYNOPSIS =

**atdtool** -h

**atdtool** [-e/--error] [-k/--key=<key>] <files...>

**atdtool** [-e/--error] [-k/--key=<key>] -l/--language <fr/de/pt/es> <files...>

**atdtool** [-e/--error] [-k/--key=<key>] -s/--server <server> <files...>



= DESCRIPTION =

**atdtool** is a command-line tools that contacts an After the Deadline language
service and displays the errors reported by the service in a format very similar
to gcc's.

**After the Deadline** is a language checker that is able to:
- spell check contextually
- check style
- check grammar


The official server is free for personal use. They provide a free server for
commercial use. atdtool can be used with the default server or with a
custom one.



= OPTIONS =

**-h** Help.

**-e, --error** Exit with error when any error is found.

**-k, --key=<key>** Selects the key to use. AtD servers cache results based on
this parameter.

**-l, --language=[fr/de/pt/es]** Selects the language. This affects the server used.

**-s, --server=<server>** Use a custom server.



= Vim integration =

atdtool can be used as a //quickfix// program in Vim with the following command:
``` :set makeprg=atdtool\ %

You can then use ``:make`` to check the current buffer and navigate the errors
with the quickfix window, the same way gcc's errors can be navigated.

More information on quickfix can be found with ``:help quickfix`` in Vim or at
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/quickfix.html
