wtf is [acronym]?

A simple CLI utility to quickly lookup acronyms. Based on bsd-wtf this fork extends the acronym database format a bit to add one-line descriptions to the output that can be toggled off.

Usage

$ wtf TCP
TCP: Transmission Control Protocol 
		The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the main protocols of the Internet protocol suite, providing reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of octets (bytes) between applications running on hosts communicating via an IP network. It originated in the initial network implementation in which it complemented the Internet Protocol (IP). Therefore, the entire suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP.

Installation

PKGBUILD

WIP

Manual

  1. Copy acronyms/ into a folder of your choice (default: /usr/share/wtf-extended/)
  2. Copy wtf (or symlink) to /usr/bin/wtf.
  3. Enjoy!

Motivation - Why did I fork the original wtf?

While the original wtf is great, writing out the acronym isn't always enough to understand what is meant. Additionally I also was looking to add my own opinionated database files for personal usage and wanted optional description support.
