jargon - find an entry in the jargon file

       The Jargon File itself is a common heritage of the hacker culture; it is currently edited by Eric Raymond

       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.

-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.
