10 !!DESCRIPTION

12 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.

15 If “is” is specified on the command line, it will be ignored, allowing the fairly natural “wtf is WTF” usage.

20 ;__-f __''dbfile'' : Overrides the default acronym database, bypassing the value of the __ACRONYMDB__ variable.
21 ;__-t __''type'' : Specifies the acronym's type. Simply put, it makes the program use the acronyms database named /usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms.type where ''type'' is given by the argument.
