WTF(6) Games Manual WTF(6) NAME wtf -- look up terms SYNOPSIS wtf [-f dbfile] [-o] [is] term ... DESCRIPTION The wtf utility looks up the meaning of one or more term operands spec- ified on the command line. term will first be searched for as an acronym in the acronym databases, which are expected to be in the format "acronym[tab]meaning". If no match has been found, wtf will check to see if the term is known by whatis(1), pkg_info(1), or, when called from within a pkgsrc package directory, pkgsrc's internal help facility, "make help topic=XXX". The optional is operand will be ignored, allowing the fairly natural "wtf is WTF" usage. The following option is available: -f dbfile Overrides the default list of acronym databases, bypassing the value of the ACRONYMDB variable. Unlike this variable the -f op- tion only accepts one file name as an argument, but it may be given multiple times to specify more than one file to use. -o Include acronyms that could be considered offensive to some. Please consult fortune(6) for more information about the -o flag. ENVIRONMENT ACRONYMDB The default list of acronym databases may be overridden by setting the environment variable ACRONYMDB to the name of one or more space-separated file names of acronym databases. FILES /usr/local/share/wtf/acronyms default acronym database. /usr/local/share/wtf/acronyms-o default offensive acronym database. /usr/local/share/wtf/acronyms.comp default computer-related acronym database. SEE ALSO make(1), pkg_info(1), whatis(1), fortune(6) HISTORY wtf first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. Initially it only translated acronyms; functionality to look up the meaning of terms in other sources was added later. FreeBSD ports 15.0 April 22, 2015 WTF(6)
