jargon - find an entry in the jargon file
jargon [-s] [entryname]
The jargon command looks for an entry containing the specified name in the jargon file and, if found, starts infobrowser at that location. If no name is specified, then it just starts infobrowser on the jargon file. If the specified entry cannot be found, infobrowser is started pointing at the appropriate index page.
The Jargon File itself is a common heritage of the hacker culture;
it is currently edited by Eric Raymond (esr@snark.thyrsus.com).
