# Fortune Fortune Files
|
|
|
|
The `fortune` utility is a fun little utility that, when called, outputs a fortune to `stdout`.
|
|
|
|
The fortunes are found in (generally) `/usr/share/games/fortunes`. To create you own fortunes, create a text file in that folder (you will need root privileges), and separate each fortune with a `%` sign on a separate line. (See the current files for examples.)
|
|
|
|
After you save your file, use the `strfile` utility to create a `.dat` file that `fortune` can read.
|
|
|
|
Offensive or potentially offensive fortunes should have `-o` appended to the file name and be placed in `/usr/share/games/fortunes/off`.
