browser for the World Wide Web +.SH SYNOPSIS +.B lynx \fI[options] [optional paths or URLs] +.sp +.B lynx \fI[options] [path or URL]\fP \fB\-get_data +.br +.I data +.br +.B \-\- +.sp +.B lynx \fI[options] [path or URL]\fP \fB\-post_data +.br +.I data +.br +.B \-\- +.PP +Use \*(``lynx \-help\*('' to display a complete list of current options. +.SH DESCRIPTION +.hy 0 +.I +Lynx +is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users +running cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices +(e.g., vt100 terminals, +vt100 emulators running on Windows 95/NT/XP/7/8 or any POSIX platform, +or any other \*(``curses-oriented\*('' display). +It will display hypertext +markup language (HTML) documents containing links to +files residing on the local system, as well as files residing on +remote systems running Gopher, HTTP, FTP, WAIS, and NNTP servers. +Current versions of +.I +Lynx +run on +Unix, VMS, Windows 95/NT/XP/7/8, DOS DJGPP and OS/2. +.PP +.I +Lynx +can be used to access information on the World Wide Web, or +to build information systems intended primarily for local access. +For example, +.I +Lynx +has been used to build several Campus Wide +Information Systems (CWIS). +In addition, +.I +Lynx +can be used to +build systems isolated within a single LAN. +.SH OPTIONS +At start up, \fILynx\fR will load any local +file or remote URL specified at the command line. +For help with URLs, press \*(``\fB?\fR\*('' +or \*(``\fBH\fR\*('' while running \fILynx\fR. +Then follow the link titled, \*(``Help on URLs.\*('' +.PP +If more than one local file or remote URL is listed on the command line, +\fILynx\fP will open only the last interactively. +All of the names (local files and remote URLs) +are added to the \fBG)oto\fP history. +.PP +\fILynx\fR uses only long option names. +Option names can begin with double dash \*(``\-\-\*('' as well, +underscores and dashes can be intermixed in +option names (in the reference below, options +are shown +with one dash \*(``\-\*('' before them, and +with underscores \*(``_\*(''). +.PP +\fILynx\fR provides many command-line options. +Some options require a value (string, number or keyword). +These are noted in the reference below. +The other options set boolean values in the program. +There are three types of boolean options: set, unset and toggle. +If no option value is given, these have the obvious meaning: +set (to true), unset (to false), or toggle (between true/false). +For any of these, an explicit value can be given in different +forms to allow for operating system constraints, +e.g., +.NS +\fB\-center:off\fP +\fB\-center=off\fP +\fB\-center\-\fP +.NE +.PP +\fILynx\fR recognizes +\*(``1\*('', \*(``+\*('', \*(``on\*('' and \*(``true\*('' for true values, and +\*(``0\*('', \*(``\-\*('', \*(``off\*('' and \*(``false\*('' for false values. +Other option-values are ignored. +.PP +The default boolean, number and string option values that are compiled +into \fILynx\fP are displayed in the help-message provided by \fBlynx \-help\fP. +Some of those may differ according to how \fILynx\fP was built; +see the help message itself for these values. +The \fB\-help\fP option is processed in the third pass of options-processing, +so any option which sets a value, +as well as runtime configuration values are reflected in the help-message. +.TP 7 +.B \- +If the argument is only \*(``\-\*('', then \fILynx\fP expects to receive +the arguments from the standard input. +This is to allow for the +potentially very long command line that can be associated +with the \fB\-get_data\fR or \fB\-post_data\fR arguments (see below). +It can also be used to avoid having sensitive information +in the invoking command line (which would be visible to +other processes on most systems), especially when +the \fB\-auth\fR or \fB\-pauth\fR options are used. +.TP +.B \-accept_all_cookies +accept all cookies. +.TP +.B \-anonymous +apply restrictions for anonymous account, see also \fB\-restrictions\fR. +.TP +.B \-assume_charset\fR=\fIMIMEname +charset for documents that do not specify it. +.TP +.B \-assume_local_charset\fR=\fIMIMEname +charset assumed for local files, +i.e., files which \fILynx\fP creates such as +internal pages for the options menu. +.TP +.B \-assume_unrec_charset\fR=\fIMIMEname +use this instead of unrecognized charsets. +.TP +.B \-auth\fR=\fIID\fR:\fIPASSWD +set authorization ID and password for protected documents at startup. +Be sure to protect any script files which use +this switch. +.TP +.B \-base +prepend a request URL comment and BASE tag to text/html +outputs for \fB\-source\fR dumps. +.TP +.B \-bibhost\fR=\fIURL +specify a local bibp server (default http://bibhost/). +.TP +.B \-blink +forces high intensity background colors for color mode, if available +and supported by the terminal. +This applies to the \fBslang\fR library (for a few terminal emulators), +or to OS/2 EMX with \fBncurses\fR. +.TP +.B \-book +use the bookmark page as the startfile. +The default or command +line startfile is still set for the Main screen command, and will +be used if the bookmark page is unavailable or blank. +.TP +.B \-buried_news +toggles scanning of news articles for buried references, and +converts them to news links. +Not recommended because email +addresses enclosed in angle brackets will be converted to +false news links, and uuencoded messages can be trashed. +.TP +.B \-cache\fR=\fINUMBER +set the NUMBER of documents cached in memory. +The default is 10. +.TP +.B \-case +enable case-sensitive string searching. +.TP +.B \-center +Toggle center alignment in HTML TABLE. +.TP +.B \-cfg\fR=\fIFILENAME +specifies a \fILynx\fP configuration file other than the default +lynx.cfg. +.TP +.B \-child +exit on left-arrow in startfile, and disable save to disk and associated +print/mail options. +.TP +.B \-child_relaxed +exit on left-arrow in startfile, but allow save to disk and associated +print/mail options. +.TP +.B \-cmd_log\fR=\fIFILENAME +write keystroke commands and related information to the specified file. +.TP +.B \-cmd_script\fR=\fIFILENAME +read keystroke commands from the specified file. +You can use the data written using the \fB\-cmd_log\fR option. +\fILynx\fP will ignore other information which the command-logging may have +written to the logfile. +Each line of the command script contains either +a comment beginning with \*(``#\*('', +or a keyword: +.RS +.TP 3 +.B exit +causes the script to stop, and forces \fILynx\fP to exit immediately. +.TP +.B key +the character value, in printable form. +Cursor and other special keys are given as names, e.g., \*(``Down Arrow\*(''. +Printable 7-bit ASCII codes are given as-is, +and hexadecimal values represent other 8-bit codes. +.TP +.B set +followed by a \*(``name=value\*('' allows one to override values set in the +lynx.cfg or \&.lynxrc files. +\fILynx\fP tries the cfg-file setting first. +.RE +.TP +.B \-collapse_br_tags +toggles collapsing of BR tags. +.TP +.B \-color +forces color mode on, if available. +Default color control sequences +which work for many terminal types are assumed if the terminal +capability description does not specify how to handle color. +\fILynx\fP needs to be compiled with the \fBslang\fR library for this flag, +it is equivalent to setting the \fBCOLORTERM\fR environment variable. +(If color support is instead provided by a color-capable curses +library like \fBncurses\fR, \fILynx\fP relies completely on the terminal +description to determine whether color mode is possible, and +this flag is not needed and thus unavailable.) +A saved show_color=always setting found in a \&.lynxrc file at +startup has the same effect. +A saved show_color=never found +in \&.lynxrc on startup is overridden by this flag. +.TP +.B \-connect_timeout\fR=\fIN +Sets the connection timeout, where N is given in seconds. +.TP +.B \-cookie_file\fR=\fIFILENAME +specifies a file to use to read cookies. +If none is specified, the default value is ~/.lynx_cookies +for most systems, but ~/cookies for MS-DOS. +.TP +.B \-cookie_save_file\fR=\fIFILENAME +specifies a file to use to store cookies. +If none is specified, the value given by +\fB\-cookie_file\fR is used. +.TP +.B \-cookies +toggles handling of Set-Cookie headers. +.TP +.B \-core +toggles forced core dumps on fatal errors. +Turn this option off to ask \fILynx\fP to force +a core dump if a fatal error occurs. +.TP +.B \-crawl +with \fB\-traversal,\fR output each page to a file. +with \fB\-dump\fR, format output as with \fB\-traversal\fR, +but to the standard output. +.TP +.B \-curses_pads +toggles the use of curses \*(``pad\*('' feature which supports +left/right scrolling of the display. +The feature is normally available for curses configurations, +but inactive. +To activate it, use the \*(``|\*('' character or the LINEWRAP_TOGGLE command. +Toggling this option makes the feature altogether unavailable. +.TP +.B \-debug_partial +separate incremental display stages with MessageSecs delay +.TP +.B \-default_colors +toggles the default-colors feature which is normally set in the lynx.cfg file. +.TP +.B \-delay +add DebugSecs delay after each progress-message +.TP +.B \-display\fR=\fIDISPLAY +set the display variable for X rexec-ed programs. +.TP +.B \-display_charset\fR=\fIMIMEname +set the charset for the terminal output. +.TP +.B \-dont_wrap_pre +inhibit wrapping of text when \fB\-dump\fR'ing and \fB\-crawl\fR'ing, +mark wrapped lines of
 in interactive session.
+.TP
+.B \-dump
+dumps the formatted output of the default document or those
+specified on the command line to standard output.
+Unlike interactive mode, all documents are processed.
+This can be used in the following way:
+.NS
+lynx \fB\-dump\fR http://www.subir.com/lynx.html
+.NE
+.IP
+Files specified on the command line are formatted as HTML if
+their names end with one of the standard web suffixes such

+.IP
+\fILynx\fP recognizes these file suffixes as HTML:
+.NS

+\*(``.htm\*('',
+\*(``.html3\*('',
+\*(``.html\*('',
+\*(``.htmlx\*('',

various \*(``standard\*('' environment variables such as +\fBHOME\fR, \fBPATH\fR, \fBUSER\fR, \fBDISPLAY\fR, \fBTMPDIR\fR, \fBetc\fR, +\fILynx\fR utilizes several \fILynx\fP-specific environment variables, if they +exist. +.PP +Others may be created or modified by \fILynx\fR to pass data to an external +program, or for other reasons. +These are listed separately below. +.PP +See also the sections on \fBSIMULATED CGI SUPPORT\fR and +\fBNATIVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT\fR, below. +.PP +Note: Not all environment variables apply to all types of platforms +supported by \fILynx\fR, though most do. +Feedback on platform dependencies is solicited. +.PP +Environment Variables Used By \fILynx\fR: +.TP 20 +.B COLORTERM +If set, color capability for the terminal is forced on at startup time. +The actual value assigned to the variable is ignored. +This variable is only meaningful if \fILynx\fR was built using the \fBslang\fR +screen-handling library. +.TP +.B LYNX_CFG +This variable, if set, will override the default location and name of +the global configuration file (normally, \fBlynx.cfg\fR) that was defined +by the LYNX_CFG_FILE constant in the userdefs.h file, during installation. +.IP +See the userdefs.h file for more information. +.TP +.B LYNX_CFG_PATH +If set, this variable overrides the compiled-in search-list of directories +used to find the configuration files, e.g., \fBlynx.cfg\fP and \fBlynx.lss\fP. +The list is delimited with ":" (or ";" for Windows) like the \fBPATH\fP +environment variable. +.TP +.B LYNX_HELPFILE +If set, this variable overrides the

compiled-in name of the trace file, +which is either \fBLynx.trace\fP or \fBLY\-TRACE.LOG\fP +(the latter on the DOS/Windows platforms). +The trace file is in either case relative to the home directory. +.TP +.B LYNX_VERSION +This variable is always set by \fILynx\fR, and may be used by an external +program to determine if it was invoked by \fILynx\fR. +.IP +See also the comments +in the distribution's sample \fBmailcap\fR file, for notes on usage in such +a file. +.TP +.B TERM +Normally, this variable is used by \fILynx\fR to determine the terminal type +being used to invoke \fILynx\fR. +If, however, it is unset at startup time +(or has the value \*(``unknown\*(''), +or if the \fB\-term\fR command-line option is used (see \fBOPTIONS\fR section +above), \fILynx\fR will set

Earl Fogel of Computing +Services at the University of Saskatchewan, who implemented HYPERREZ +in the Unix environment. +HYPERREZ was developed by Niel Larson of +Think.com and served as the model for the early versions of \fILynx\fP. +Those versions also incorporated libraries from the Unix Gopher clients +developed at the University of Minnesota, and the later versions of +\fILynx\fP rely on the WWW client library code developed by Tim Berners-Lee +and the WWW community. +Also a special thanks to Foteos Macrides who ported +much of \fILynx\fP to VMS and did or organized most of its development since the +departures of Lou Montulli and Garrett Blythe from the University of Kansas +in the summer of 1994 through the release of v2.7.2, and to everyone +on the net who has contributed to \fILynx\fP's development either directly +(through patches, comments or bug reports) or indirectly +(through inspiration and development of other systems). +.SH AUTHORS +Lou Montulli, Garrett
