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.
