wat
helps you find out what all the things in your Linux system are. You can ask it for information on:
- executables
- services
- bash built-ins
- packages
- files and folders (based on wat-pages)
To find out what something is, simply pass the name to wat
:
> wat zeitgeist
zeitgeist (package): Zeitgeist is a service which logs the user's activities and
events (files opened, websites visited, conversations held with other people, etc.)
and makes the relevant information available to other applications.
> wat /var/spool
/var/spool (directory): This directory contains data which is awaiting some kind of later processing. Data
in /var/spool represents work to be done in the future (by a program, user, or
administrator); often data is deleted after it has been processed.
