wtf
— look up

[-f dbfile]
[-o ] [is]
term ... |
The wtf
utility looks up the meaning of
one or more term operands specified on the command
line.
term will first be searched for as an
acronym in the acronym databases, which are expected to be in the format
“acronym[tab]meaning”. If no match has been found,
wtf
will check to see if the term is known by
whatis(1),
pkg_info(1), or, when called
from within a pkgsrc package directory, pkgsrc's internal help facility,
“make help topic=XXX”.
The optional is operand will be ignored, allowing the fairly natural “wtf is WTF” usage.
The following option is available:
-f
dbfileACRONYMDB
variable. Unlike this variable the
-f
option only accepts one file name as an
argument, but it may be given multiple times to specify more than one file
to use.-o
-o
flag.ACRONYMDB
ACRONYMDB
to the name of one
or more space-separated file names of acronym databases.wtf
first appeared in
NetBSD 1.5. Initially it only translated acronyms;
functionality to look up the meaning of terms in other sources was added
later.
