HANGMAN(6)                  DragonFly Games Manual                  HANGMAN(6)

NAME
     hangman -- computer version of the game hangman

SYNOPSIS
     hangman [-k] [-d wordlist]

DESCRIPTION
     In hangman, the computer picks a word from the on-line word list and you
     must try to guess it.  The computer keeps track of which letters have
     been guessed and how many wrong guesses you have made on the screen in a
     graphic fashion.

     The options are as follows:

     -d wordlist
             Use the specified wordlist instead of the default.  If the
             wordlist file is an ELF binary file, its symbols are used as the
             word list.  Otherwise, the wordlist file must be a plain text
             file, with one word per line.  Only lowercase words of at least a
             certain length (typically 6 characters) are chosen.

     -k      Use the kernel symbols, as read from the kernel image pointed to
             by the sysctl(3) kern.bootfile variable, instead of the default
             wordlist.

FILES
     /usr/share/dict/words  Default word list.
