The LaTeX typesetting software includes high quality dictionaries of word division patterns, which define the points at which a word may be broken across the end of a line.
worddiv is a simple script that makes it convenient to query the LaTeX word division dictionary interactively using a terminal emulator. This can help, for example, when proofreading galleys that do not adhere to the word hyphenations presented in an approriate high quality dictionary.
