look

Display lines beginning with a prefix in a sorted file. See also: grep, sort. More information: https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/look.1.html.

• 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 [t]ermination character (space by default):

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

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

look {{prefix}}
