+.Ar string
+.Op Ar
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility displays any lines in
+.Ar file
+which contain
+.Ar string
+as a prefix.
+As
+.Nm
+performs a binary search, the lines in
+.Ar file
+must be sorted.
+.Pp
+If
+.Ar file
+is not specified, the file
+.Pa /usr/share/dict/words
+is used, only alphanumeric characters are compared and the case of
+alphabetic characters is ignored.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl d
+Dictionary character set and order, i.e., only alphanumeric characters
+are compared.
+.It Fl f
+Ignore the case of alphabetic characters.
+.It Fl t
+Specify a string termination character, i.e., only the characters
+in
+.Ar string
+up to and including the first occurrence of
+.Ar termchar
+are compared.
+.El
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+The
+.Ev LANG , LC_ALL
+and
+.Ev LC_CTYPE
+environment variables affect the execution of the
+.Nm
+utility.
+Their effect is described in
+.Xr environ 7 .

+in comparisons when the
+.Fl d
+option was specified.

+implementation.
