wtfuck - replacement for apropos

And much better.

So you have a certain package and don't know what the executable does? Ask wtfuck:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
STERM=$1
dpkg -l|grep ii|grep $STERM|awk '{system("whereis "$2);$1="";$3=$4=""; print $0}'
It shows you where the package is installed and what the fuck it actually is.
