NAME

       jargon - find an entry in the jargon file

SYNOPSIS

       jargon [-s] [entryname]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -s
              Dump entry to standard output, using info.  The specified entry is displayed  in  a
              noninteractive  manner.  If  the  entry cannot be found, nothing is output. If this
              option is given, then it is an error if entryname is not specified.
