       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.
