WTF(6)			       BSD Games Manual				WTF(6)

NAME
     wtf — translates acronyms for you

SYNOPSIS
     wtf [-f dbfile] [is] acronym ...

DESCRIPTION
     The wtf utility displays the expansion of the acronyms specified on the
     command line.  If the acronym is not in any of the acronyms databases,
     wtf will check to see if the acronym is known by whatis(1), pkg_info(1),
     or via pkgsrc's internal help mechanism, “make help topic=XXX”.

     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.

ENVIRONMENT
     ACRONYMDB	The default acronym database may be overridden by setting the
		environment variable ACRONYMDB to the name of one or more
		space-separated file names of acronym databases.  The files
		must be in the proper format (acronym[tab]meaning).

FILES
     /usr/share/misc/acronyms	    default acronym database.
     /usr/share/misc/acronyms.comp  computer-related acronym database.

SEE ALSO
     make(1), pkg_info(1), whatis(1)

HISTORY
     wtf first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.
