NAME

     wtf -- translates acronyms for you

SYNOPSIS

     wtf [-f dbfile] [-t type] [is] acronym ...

DESCRIPTION

     The wtf utility displays the expansion of the acronyms specified on the command line.  If the acronym is unknown, wtf will check to see if
     the acronym is known by the whatis(1) command.

     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.

     -t type
	   Specifies the acronym's type.  Simply put, it makes the program use the acronyms database named
	   /usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms.type, where type is given by the argument.

ENVIRONMENT

     ACRONYMDB	The default acronym database may be overridden by setting the environment variable ACRONYMDB to the name of a file in the proper
		format (acronym[tab]meaning).

FILES

     /usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms       default acronym database.
     /usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms.comp  computer-related acronym database.

NAME

       whatis - display a one-line summary about a keyword

SYNOPSIS

       whatis command...

DESCRIPTION

       whatis  looks  up  a  given  command  and displays the header line from the manual section. You can then run the man(1) command to get more
       information. If the line starts name(section)... you can do man -ssection name to get the documentation for it.	Try whatis ed and then you
       should do man -s 1 ed to get the manual page for ed(1).

       whatis is actually just the -f option to the man(1) command.

       whatis uses the /usr/share/man/windex database.	This database is created by catman(1M). If this database does not exist, whatis will fail.

FILES

       /usr/share/man/windex	Table of contents and keyword database
