WTF(1)			     BSD Reference Manual			WTF(1)

NAME
     wtf - translates acronyms for you

SYNOPSIS
     wtf [-adpw] [is | ist] acronym ...

DESCRIPTION
     The wtf utility displays the expansion of the acronyms specified on the
     command line. The following places are searched:

     -a	     Search the acronym database (default).

     -d	     Search the dictionary. Needs a dict client installed.

     -p	     Search the ports INDEX.

     -w	     Search with whatis (default).

     To disable an option, prefix it with a plus sign ('+') instead of a dash.

     If "is" is specified on the command line, it will be ignored, allowing
     the fairly natural wtf is WTF and, for German users, wtf ist Windows
     usage.

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/misc/acronyms  default acronym database.
     /usr/bin/dict	       default search path for dictionary client
     /usr/local/bin/dict       standard search path for dictionary client
     /usr/mpkg/bin/dict	       extended search path for dictionary client
     /usr/ports/INDEX	       default ports index file.

SEE ALSO
     whatis(1)

HISTORY
     wtf first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. It then was ported to MirOS #0, actual-
     ly being the very reason for MirOS to exist. Option processing was added
     in MirOS #11.

MirOS BSD #10-current	       October 1, 2010				     1
