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

       /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 characters.

		ters are used in comparisons.

		case in comparisons.
