I don't know what I was thinking not having that around to resolve these TLAs. mdoc warning: Empty input line #152 WTF(6) BSD Games Manual WTF(6) NAME wtf - translates acronyms and filename suffixes for you. wtfindex - builds string file indexes for wtf. wtfdump - lists the contents of a wtf database. SYNOPSIS wtf [-a] [is] pattern wtfindex filename wtfdump filename DESCRIPTION The wtf program looks-up the definition of a term. It supports a number of definition sources. In this version they are an acronyms database and a filename suffixes database. Like the NetBSD 1.5 version of wtf, this version will ignore an ``is'' given on the command line, allowing the more natural usage: wtf is wtf. Like man, wtf will display all matches found when the -a flag is given on the command line. The wtfindex program builds an index of the entries in filename. This index is written to filename.dat. filename must contain a series of lines. Each line should consist of a key (the term being defined) and a value (the definition) separated by a single tab character, and should be terminated by a newline character. The wtfdump program lists the entries in filename in ascending order. EXAMPLES Find out what AFAIK stands for $ wtf afaik Find all the meanings of WTF $ wtf -a WTF Find out what the .asm extension means $ wtf .asm What the author of the program thinks of SCO $ wtf is SCO (try this one!!!) FILES /usr/share/wtf System-wide directory to search for data files. $HOME/.wtf User specific directory to search for data files. ENVIRONMENT WTFPATH A colon delimited list of directories to be searched. SEE ALSO fortune(6), whatis(1), wtf(6), sort(1) BUGS The index files are not transportable across machines of different endian-ness and/or with different sizes of unsigned long. The command-line argument handling code is very rudimentary. No doubt there are a great many more. If you find any, please squash them and send the pieces to the author. HISTORY wtf first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. This version of wtf was created on Slackware Linux 9.0.0 AUTHOR Thomas Sutton (thsutton@xxxxxxxxxxx) bdbafh@hophead ~ $ wtf is SCO SCO: The Enemy I guess that they updated that one recently. no entries for ASM, ASH, ASSM, OFA, SAME, RAID, MAID, RAC or the illustrious bchr.
