SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
       Look consults a sorted file and prints all lines that begin with string.  It uses binary search.

       The options d and f affect comparisons as in sort(1):

       d   `Dictionary' order: only letters, digits, tabs and blanks participate in comparisons.

       f   Fold.  Upper case letters compare equal to lower case.

       If no file is specified, /usr/dict/words is assumed with collating sequence -df.
