NAME
      look - find words in the system dictionary  or  lines  in  a
      sorted list
 


SYNOPSIS
      /usr/bin/look [ -d ]  [ -f ]  [ -tc ]  string  [ filename ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      The look command consults a sorted filename and  prints  all
      lines that begin with string.
 
      If    no     filename    is     specified,     look     uses
      /usr/share/lib/dict/words with collating sequence -df.
 
      look limits the length of a word to search for to 256  char-
      acters.
 


OPTIONS
      -d    Dictionary order. Only letters, digits,  TAB and SPACE
            characters are used in comparisons.
 
      -f    Fold case. Upper case letters  are  not  distinguished
            from lower case in comparisons.
 
      -tc   Set termination character. All characters to the right
            of c in  string are ignored.
