look

Display lines beginning with a prefix in a sorted file. See also: grep, sort. More information: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?look.

  • Search for lines beginning with a specific prefix in a specific file:

look {{prefix}} {{path/to/file}}

  • Case-insensitively search only on alphanumeric characters:

look {{[-f|--ignore-case]}} {{[-d|--alphanum]}} {{prefix}} {{path/to/file}}

  • Specify a string termination character (space by default):

look {{[-t|--terminate]}} {{,}}

  • Search in /usr/share/dict/words (--ignore-case and --alphanum are assumed):

look {{prefix}}
