|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility displays any lines in
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
which contain
|
|
.Ar string
|
|
as a prefix.
|
|
As
|
|
.Nm
|
|
performs a binary search, the lines in
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
must be sorted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is not specified, the file
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/dict/words
|
|
is used, only alphanumeric characters are compared and the case of
|
|
alphabetic characters is ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Dictionary character set and order, i.e., only alphanumeric characters
|
|
are compared.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Ignore the case of alphabetic characters.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Specify a string termination character, i.e., only the characters
|
|
in
|
|
.Ar string
|
|
up to and including the first occurrence of
|
|
.Ar termchar
|
|
are compared.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The
|
|
.Ev LANG , LC_ALL
|
|
and
|
|
.Ev LC_CTYPE
|
|
environment variables affect the execution of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility.
|
|
Their effect is described in
|
|
.Xr environ 7 .
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
.Bl -tag -width /usr/share/dict/words -compact
|
|
.It Pa /usr/share/dict/words
|
|
the dictionary
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 if one or more lines were found and displayed,
|
|
1 if no lines were found, and >1 if an error occurred.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The original manual page stated that tabs and blank characters participated
|
|
in comparisons when the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
option was specified.
|
|
This was incorrect and the current man page matches the historic
|
|
implementation.
