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.
