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

SEE ALSO
     whatis(1)

HISTORY
     wtf first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.

BSD				April 25, 2003				   BSD
