-.Sh NAME
-.Nm fortune
-.Nd print a random, hopefully interesting, adage
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm
-.Op Fl aefilosw
-.Op Fl m Ar pattern
-.Oo
-.Op Ar N\^ Ns Cm \&%
-.Ar file\| Ns / Ns Ar dir\| Ns / Ns Cm \^all
-.Oc
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-When
-.Nm
-is run with no arguments it prints out a random epigram.
-Epigrams are divided into several categories, where each category
-is subdivided into those which are potentially offensive and those
-which are not.
-The options are as follows:
-.Bl -tag -width ".Fl XXX"
-.It Fl a
-Choose from all lists of maxims, both offensive and not.
-(See the
-.Fl o
-option for more information on offensive fortunes.)
-.It Fl e
-Consider all fortune files to be of equal size (see discussion below
-on multiple files).
-.It Fl f
-Print out the list of files which would be searched, but don't
-print a fortune.
-.It Fl i
-Ignore case for
-.Fl m
-patterns.
-.It Fl l
-Long dictums only.
-.It Fl m Ar pattern
-Print out all fortunes which match the regular expression
-.Ar pattern .
-See
-.Xr regex 3
-for a description of patterns.
-.It Fl o
-Choose only from potentially offensive aphorisms.
-.Bf -symbolic
-Please, please, please request a potentially offensive fortune if and
-only if you believe, deep down in your heart, that you are willing
-to be offended.
-(And that if you are, you'll just quit using
-.Fl o
-rather than give us grief about it, okay?)
-.Ef
-.Bd -filled -offset indent
-\&... let us keep in mind the basic governing philosophy
-of The Brotherhood, as handsomely summarized in these words:
-we believe in healthy, hearty laughter \(em at the expense of
-the whole human race, if needs be.
-Needs be.
-.Ed
-.Bd -filled -offset indent-two -compact
-\(em H. Allen Smith, "Rude Jokes"
-.Ed
-.It Fl s
-Short apothegms only.
-.It Fl w
-Wait before termination for an amount of time calculated from the
-number of characters in the message.
-This is useful if it is executed as part of the logout procedure
-to guarantee that the message can be read before the screen is cleared.
-.El
-.Pp
-The user may specify alternative sayings.
-You can specify a specific file, a directory which contains one or
-more files, or the special word
-.Cm all ,
-which says to use all the standard databases.
-Any of these may be preceded by a percentage, which is a number
-.Ar N
-between 0 and 100 inclusive, followed by a
-.Ql %
-character.
-If it is, there will be an
-.Ar N
-percent probability that an adage will be picked from that file
-or directory.
-If the percentages do not sum to 100, and there are specifications
-without percentages, the remaining percent will apply to those files
-and/or directories, in which case the probability of selecting from
-one of them will be based on their relative sizes.
-.Pp
-As an example, given two databases
-.Ar funny
-and
-.Ar not-funny ,
-with
-.Ar funny
-twice as big, saying
-.Pp
-.Dl $ fortune funny not-funny
-.Pp
-will get you fortunes out of
-.Ar funny
-two-thirds of the time.
-The command
-.Pp
-.Dl $ fortune 90% funny 10% not-funny
-.Pp
-will pick out 90% of its fortunes from
-.Ar funny
-(the
-.Ql 10%
-is unnecessary, since 10% is all that's left).
-The
-.Fl e
-option says to consider all files equal; thus
-.Pp
-.Dl $ fortune -e
-.Pp
-is equivalent to
-.Pp
-.Dl $ fortune 50% funny 50% not-funny
-.Pp
-Datafiles for
-.Nm
-are created by the
-.Xr strfile 8
-utility.
