NAME

       look - display lines beginning with a given string

SYNOPSIS

       look [options] string [file]

DESCRIPTION

       The  look  utility  displays  any  lines  in file which contain string.	As look performs a binary search, the lines in file must be sorted
       (where sort(1) got the same options -d and/or -f that look is invoked with).

       If file is not specified, the file /usr/share/dict/words is used, only alphanumeric characters are compared  and  the  case  of	alphabetic
       characters is ignored.

OPTIONS

       -a, --alternative
	      Use the alternative dictionary file.

       -d, --alphanum
	      Use normal dictionary character set and order, i.e. only alphanumeric characters are compared.  (This is on by default if no file is
	      specified.)

       -f, --ignore-case
	      Ignore the case of alphabetic characters.  (This is on by default if no file is specified.)

       -t, --terminate character
	      Specify a string termination character, i.e. only the characters in string up to and including the first occurrence of character are
	      compared.

       -h, --help
	      Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Output version information and exit.

       The look utility exits 0 if one or more lines were found and displayed, 1 if no lines were found, and >1 if an error occurred.

EXAMPLE

	      sort -d /etc/passwd -o /tmp/look.dict
	      look -t: root:foobar /tmp/look.dict

FILES

       /usr/share/dict/words
	   the dictionary

       /usr/share/dict/web2
	   the alternative dictionary

SEE ALSO

       grep(1), sort(1)

COMPATIBILITY

       The  original  manual  page stated that tabs and blank characters participated in comparisons when the alphanum option was specified.  This
       was incorrect, and the current man page matches the historic implementation.

HISTORY

       The look utility appeared in Version 7 AT&T Unix.

AVAILABILITY

       The look command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.

XFCE4-DICT(1)															     XFCE4-DICT(1)

NAME

       xfce4-dict -- a client program to query different dictionaries

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-dict [option]  [text ...]

DESCRIPTION

       xfce4-dict  allows  you	to search different kinds of dictionary services for words or phrases and shows you the result.  Currently you can
       query a "Dict" server(RFC 2229), any online dictionary service by opening a web browser or search for words using  a  spell  check  program
       like aspell, ispell or enchant.

       Homepage: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-dict

OPTIONS

       If called without any arguments, the xfce4-dict main window is shown.  Any passed text argument(s) are used as search text.

       -d, --dict
		 Search the given text using a Dict server(RFC 2229).

       -w, --web Search the given text using a web-based search engine.

       -t, --text-field
		 Grab the focus on the text field in the panel (has no effect if panel plugin is not loaded).

       -s, --spell
		 Check the given text with a spellchecker.

       -i, --ignore-plugin
		 Start stand-alone application even if the panel plugin is loaded.

       -c, --clipboard
		 Grabs	the  PRIMARY  selection content (X selection clipboard), uses it as search text and performs a search. This is useful when
		 you want to create keyboard shortcuts for this command.  The search method can be specified with the -d, -w and  -s  options,	if
		 not  specified  the  default  search  method is used.	If the PRIMARY clipboard doesn't contain any text, the normal clipboard is
		 used.

       -v, --verbose
		 Be verbose (print useful status messages).

       -V, --version
		 Show version information.

       -?, --help
		 Show help information and exit.

       xfce4-dict supports all generic GTK options, a list is available on the help screen.

BUGS

       There is a limitation of max. 12 characters in passing a search term to xfce4-dict when the panel plugin is loaded. That is, if you pass  a
       search  term  as  command  line argument(s) to xfce4-dict which is longer than 12 characters, it is truncated. To be exact, the limit is 12
       bytes so if the search term contains any non-ASCII characters it might be even less than 12 characters.	To work  around  this  limitation,
       you  can  add  the command line '-i' so that xfce4-dict will start a single stand-alone application. Then all passed text is used as search
       term.
