.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility displays the expansion of one or more acronyms
|
|
specified on the command line.
|
|
If an acronym is not in any of the acronym databases,
|
|
which are expected to be in the format
|
|
.Dq acronym[tab]meaning ,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will check to see if it is known by
|
|
.Xr whatis 1 ,
|
|
.Xr pkg_info 1 ,
|
|
or via pkgsrc's internal help mechanism,
|
|
.Dq make help topic=XXX .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Dq is
|
|
is specified on the command line, it will be ignored, allowing the
|
|
fairly natural
|
|
.Dq wtf is WTF
|
|
usage.

|
|

option only accepts one file name as an argument,
|
|
but it may be given multiple times to specify more than one file to use.
