     Name
          look - Finds lines in a sorted list.

     Syntax
          look [ -df ] string [ file ]

     Description
          look consults a sorted file and prints all lines that begin
          with string.  It uses binary search.

          The options d and f affect comparisons as in sort(C):

          -d  Dictionary order: only letters, digits, tabs and blanks
              participate in comparisons.

          -f  Fold.  Uppercase letters compare equal to lowercase.

          If no file is specified, /usr/dict/words is assumed with
          collating sequence -df.

     Files
          /usr/dict/words
