$ wtf gnu Gee... I don't know what gnu means... $ wtf fsf Gee... I don't know what fsf means...
I R'd TFM after installing the 'bsdgames' Debian package.
There are two acronym databases :-
/usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms default acronym database.
/usr/share/games/bsdgames/acronyms.comp computer-related acronym database.
Select the second one with 'wtf -t comp <term>' $ /usr/games/wtf -t comp gnu GNU: gnu's not unix
There is a total of 451 terms in both lists, and 7 duplicates. Two (RFC and TLB) are the same in both lists. There are no duplicates within a list. Oddly, if you create a list with duplicates in it, wtf seems to do pretty much the right thing.
