.Sh NAME
.Nm look
.Nd display lines beginning with a given string
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl df
.Op Fl t Ar termchar
.Ar string
.Op Ar
.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

.Nm
utility.
Their effect is described in

.Bl -tag -width /usr/share/dict/words -compact
.It Pa /usr/share/dict/words

.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS

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.
