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/local/share/wtf/acronyms	   default acronym database.
       /usr/local/share/wtf/acronyms.comp  computer-related acronym database.

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

HISTORY
       wtf first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.

FreeBSD	7.2			 July 27, 2007				WTF(6)
