JARGON(1)						      General Commands Manual							 JARGON(1)

NAME

       jargon - find an entry in the jargon file

SYNOPSIS

       jargon [-s] [entryname]

DESCRIPTION

       The  jargon command looks for an entry containing the specified name in the jargon file and, if found, starts infobrowser at that location.
       If no name is specified, then it just starts infobrowser on the jargon file.  If the  specified	entry  cannot  be  found,  infobrowser	is
       started pointing at the appropriate index page.

OPTIONS

       -s
	      Dump  entry  to  standard  output,  using info.  The specified entry is displayed in a noninteractive manner. If the entry cannot be
	      found, nothing is output. If this option is given, then it is an error if entryname is not specified.

BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1)						   Chiark-backup					       BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1)

NAME

       backup-whatsthis - read an id off a tape and display it

SYNOPSIS

       backup-whatsthis [--list [n]]

DESCRIPTION

       `backup-whatsthis'  is a simple script to display the TAPEID of the current tape and optionally list its contents.  This script is a bit of
       a hack and may not be fully reliable.

OPTIONS

       --list [n] Print TAPEID then list archive n (default 0). Note that archives are numbered from zero.

FILES

       /etc/chiark-backup/settings.pl
	      Configuration file for the whole of chiark-backup

BUGS

       `backup-whatsthis' is currently hardwired to assume `cpio' type backups when listing; it could be trivially hardwired to assume `zafio'	or
       with slightly more effort it could be done properly :->.
