NAME
wtf
- translates acronyms for you
SYNOPSIS
wtf
[-f dbfile]
[is]
acronym ...
DESCRIPTION
The
wtf
utility displays the expansion of the acronyms
specified on the command line.
If the acronym is not in any of the acronyms databases,
wtf
will check to see if the acronym is known by
whatis(1),
pkg_info(1),
or via pkgsrc's internal help mechanism,
``make help topic=XXX''.
If
``is''
is specified on the command line, it will be ignored, allowing the
fairly natural
``wtf is WTF''
usage.
The following options are available:
- -f dbfile
-
Overrides the default acronym database, bypassing the value of the
ACRONYMDB
variable.
ENVIRONMENT
ACRONYMDB
-
The default acronym database may be overridden by setting the
environment variable
ACRONYMDB
to the name of one or more space-separated file names of
acronym databases.
The files must be in the proper format (acronym[tab]meaning).
FILES
/usr/share/misc/acronyms
-
default acronym database.
/usr/share/misc/acronyms.comp
-
computer-related acronym database.
