Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 8.0.1
File: /usr/bin/look
On the man page we see:
DESCRIPTION
The look utility displays any lines in file which contain string as a
prefix.
If file is not specified, the file /usr/share/dict/words is used,
only alphanumeric characters are compared and the case of
alphabetic characters is ignored.
That can't be the whole story, as this wacky double occurrence:
$ look airial
airial
airial's
airial
doesn't show up in
$ grep airial /usr/share/dict/words
Prairial
Prairial's
prairial
$ grep airial /usr/share/dict/american-english-huge
Prairial
Prairial's
prairial
Therefore: on the man page please tell the whole story. And also don't
print doubles.
