NAME
     look - find words in the system dictionary  or  lines  in  a
     sorted list

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/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/share/lib/dict/words with collating sequence -df.


     look limits the length of a word to search for to 256  char-
     acters.

OPTIONS
     -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.
