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.
SEE ALSO
whatis(1)
HISTORY
wtf first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.
