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

       SYNOPSIS
             /usr/ucb/look [-d] [-f] [-tc] string [file]

       DESCRIPTION
             The look command consults a sorted file and prints all lines
             that begin with string.

             If no file 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
             /usr/ucblib/dict/words
