Assuming you mean an Aspell has file than the command is
  aspell dump master <hash file>
which will dump the file to standard out.  If the hash file is in the
current dictionary it must be prefixed with a ./ or else Aspell will look
for the hash file in the default install location for dictionaries which
is usually /usr/local/lib/aspell/ or /usr/lib/aspell/

I do not think there is any way to dump the ispell hash-files however.
