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.
