Obviously written by someone who is not living on BSD, and doesn't know about wtf(1) :(

Good thing the binary is called wtfutil because of this very reason.

not what I was getting at. I'm aware it's wtfutil on the cmdline. I was rather sort of amused that, say, I write a 'least squares' utility, call it 'ls' and have it be invoked by calling 'lsutil'.

...anyways, moving on with my life...

that utility always amuses me. as BSd is the only distro i use where i don't run into the need for it so much :D goo call though. name collisions on packages can be painful.

However, you run this thing as ./wtfutil though if i look at the documentation, so no worries on the package name in the cmdline really.
