NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     wtf - translates acronyms for you

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     wtf [is] acronym ...

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The wtf utility displays the expansion of the acronyms specified on the
     command line.  If the acronym is unknown, wtf will check to see if the
     acronym is known by the whatis(1) command.

     If ``is'' is specified on the command line, it will be ignored, allowing
     the fairly natural ``wtf is WTF'' usage.
