look(1)                 (BSD Compatibility Package)                 look(1)


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

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/ucb/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/ucblib/dict/words with
         collating sequence -df.

         The following options are available:

         -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.

   FILES
