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
