Its files include the default acronym database, an offensive acronym database enabled by option, and a computer-related acronym database. The FreeBSD 7.2 manual page records the historical origin succinctly: `wtf` first appeared in NetBSD 1.5. The current NetBSD manual adds that it initially only translated acronyms, while later versions gained the ability to look up terms in other system sources. ### 采用历史 The command spread beyond NetBSD through BSD ports and redistributions of the NetBSD script and acronym databases. The SourceForge bsd-wtf project describes itself as a convenient place to get the `wtf` program and acronyms database outside the NetBSD source tree, while FreeBSD and other packaging ecosystems carried variants for users who wanted the BSD utility on non-NetBSD systems. ### 使用方式 The canonical usage is intentionally casual: `wtf` accepts an optional ignored `is` operand so `wtf is WTF` works naturally. Users can override the acronym database with `-f` or the ACRONYMDB environment variable, which makes the tool easy to adapt to local jargon lists. In pkgsrc-aware environments, the command is more than a slang lookup: if an acronym is not found, it can ask package and manual-page sources. That makes it a tiny bridge between Unix wordplay, system documentation, and package-tree help. ### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心 wtf is package-nerd lore because it is a deliberately unserious command that still follows Unix conventions: plain text databases, environment overrides, manpage documentation, and integration with package metadata. It is also a reminder that BSD games and misc utilities often became portable command-line packages in their own right. ### 时间线 - 2000: NetBSD 1.5 era in which `wtf` first appeared. - 2007-07-27: The FreeBSD 7.2 manual page documents the NetBSD origin. - 2015-04-22: The current NetBSD manual page documents later term-lookup behavior beyond acronym translation. - 2010s: SourceForge bsd-wtf provides the NetBSD utility and acronym database outside the NetBSD source tree. ### Related projects - NetBSD supplies the canonical manual page and acronym database behavior. - SourceForge bsd-wtf mirrors the NetBSD utility and data for use outside the NetBSD tree. - FreeBSD carried a ported manual page documenting the NetBSD origin. ### 来源 - - - - ## 安全说明 narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger 风险:** 绿色 / 低 - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## 源数据库详情 - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** wtf - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## 其他软件包管理器记录 - Nix - wtf: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/wt/wtf/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - wtf: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: games/wtf/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## 相关链接 - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Productivity CLI packages](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/productivity-cli-packages/) - Matched curated productivity category metadata from av.db. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [gucharmap](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/gucharmap/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity, reference. - [tmux](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/tmux/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [vim](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/vim/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [himalaya](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/himalaya/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [yazi](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/yazi/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [emacs](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/emacs/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [zellij](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/zellij/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [aspell](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/aspell/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, productivity. - [biber](https://pkg.so/zh-hans/brew/biber/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
