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 Lynx - run on Unix, VMS, Windows 95/NT, 386DOS and OS/2 EMX. - - Lynx can be used to access information on the World Wide Web, or to - build information systems intended primarily for local access. For - example, Lynx has been used to build several Campus Wide Information - Systems (CWIS). In addition, Lynx can be used to build systems - isolated within a single LAN. - -2 Options - At start up, Lynx will load any local file or remote URL specified at - the command line. For help with URLs, press "?" or "H" while running - Lynx. Then follow the link titled, "Help on URLs." - - If more than one local file or remote URL is listed on the command - line, Lynx will open only the last interactively. All of the names - (local files and remote URLs) are added to the G)oto history. - - Lynx 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 with one dash before them and with - underscores). - - Lynx 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., - -center:off - -center=off - -center- - Lynx recognizes "1", "+", "on" and "true" for true values, and "0", - "-", "off" and "false" for false values. Other option-values are - ignored. - - The default boolean, number and string option values that are compiled - into Lynx are displayed in the help-message provided by lynx -help. - Some of those may differ according to how Lynx was built; see the help - message itself for these values. The -help 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. - - - If the argument is only `-', then Lynx 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 -get_data or -post_data 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 -auth or -pauth options are used. - - -accept_all_cookies - accept all cookies. - - -anonymous - apply restrictions for anonymous account, see also - -restrictions. - - -assume_charset=MIMEname - charset for documents that don't specify it. - - -assume_local_charset=MIMEname - charset assumed for local files, i.e., files which Lynx creates - such as internal pages for the options menu. - - -assume_unrec_charset=MIMEname - use this instead of unrecognized charsets. - - -auth=ID:PASSWD - set authorization ID and password for protected documents at - startup. Be sure to protect any script files which use this - switch. - - -base prepend a request URL comment and BASE tag to text/html outputs - for -source dumps. - - -bibp=URL - specify a local bibp server (default http://bibhost/). - - -blink forces high intensity background colors for color mode, if - available and supported by the terminal. This applies to the - slang library (for a few terminal emulators), or to OS/2 EMX - with ncurses. - - -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. - - -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. - - -cache=NUMBER - set the NUMBER of documents cached in memory. The default is - 10. - - -case enable case-sensitive string searching. - - -center - Toggle center alignment in HTML TABLE. - - -cfg=FILENAME - specifies a Lynx configuration file other than the default - lynx.cfg. - - -child exit on left-arrow in startfile, and disable save to disk and - associated print/mail options. - - -child_relaxed - exit on left-arrow in startfile, but allow save to disk and - associated print/mail options. - - -cmd_log=FILENAME - write keystroke commands and related information to the - specified file. - - -cmd_script=FILENAME - read keystroke commands from the specified file. You can use - the data written using the -cmd_log option. Lynx 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: - - exit causes the script to stop, and forces Lynx to exit - immediately. - - 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. - - set followed by a "name=value" allows one to override values set - in the lynx.cfg file. - - -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. Lynx needs to be compiled with the slang library for - this flag, it is equivalent to setting the COLORTERM environment - variable. (If color support is instead provided by a color- - capable curses library like ncurses, Lynx 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. - - -connect_timeout=N - Sets the connection timeout, where N is given in seconds. - - -cookie_file=FILENAME - 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. - - -cookie_save_file=FILENAME - specifies a file to use to store cookies. If none is specified, - the value given by -cookie_file is used. - - -cookies - toggles handling of Set-Cookie headers. - - -core toggles forced core dumps on fatal errors. Turn this option off - to ask Lynx to force a core dump if a fatal error occurs. - - -crawl with -traversal, output each page to a file. with -dump, format - output as with -traversal, but to the standard output. - - -curses_pads - toggles the use of curses "pad" feature which supports - left/right scrolling of the display. - - -debug_partial - separate incremental display stages with MessageSecs delay - - -delay add DebugSecs delay after each progress-message - - -display=DISPLAY - set the display variable for X rexec-ed programs. - - -display_charset=MIMEname - set the charset for the terminal output. - - -dont_wrap_pre - inhibit wrapping of text in <pre> when -dump'ing and -crawl'ing, - mark wrapped lines in interactive session. - - -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: - - lynx -dump http://www.subir.com/lynx.html - - -editor=EDITOR - enable external editing, using the specified EDITOR. (vi, ed, - emacs, etc.) - - -emacskeys - enable emacs-like key movement. - - -enable_scrollback - toggles compatibility with communication programs' scrollback - keys (may be incompatible with some curses packages). - - -error_file=FILE - define a file where Lynx will report HTTP access codes. - - -exec enable local program execution (normally not configured). - - -fileversions - include all versions of files in local VMS directory listings. - - -find_leaks - toggle memory leak-checking.

The beginning and end of - the URL are displayed, rather than suppressing the end. - - -show_cfg - Print the configuration settings, e.g., as read from "lynx.cfg", - and exit. - - -show_cursor - If enabled the cursor will not be hidden in the right hand - corner but will instead be positioned at the start of the - currently selected link. Show cursor is the default for systems - without FANCY_CURSES capabilities. The default configuration - can be changed in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg. The command line - switch toggles the default. - - -show_rate - If enabled the transfer rate is shown in bytes/second. If - disabled, no transfer rate is shown. Use lynx.cfg or the - options menu to select KB/second and/or ETA. - - -soft_dquotes - toggles emulation of the old Netscape and Mosaic bug which - treated `>' as a co-terminator for double-quotes and tags. - - -source - works the same as dump but outputs HTML source instead of - formatted text. For example - - lynx -source . >foo.html - - generates HTML source listing the files in the current - directory. Each file is marked by an HREF relative to the - parent directory.

(This - may be useful for remote execution, when, for example, Lynx - connects to a remote TCP/IP port that starts a script that, in - turn, starts another Lynx process.) - - -timeout=N - For win32, sets the network read-timeout, where N is given in - seconds. - - -tlog toggles between using a Lynx Trace Log and stderr for trace - output from the session. - - -tna turns on "Textfields Need Activation" mode. - - -trace turns on Lynx trace mode. Destination of trace output depends - on -tlog. - - -trace_mask=value - turn on optional traces, which may result in very large trace - files. Logically OR the values to combine options: - 1=SGML character parsing states - 2=color-style - 4=TRST (table layout) - 8=config (lynx.cfg, .lynxrc, .lynx-keymaps, mime.types and - mailcap contents) - 16=binary string copy/append, used in form data construction. - 32=cookies - 64=character sets - 128=GridText parsing - 256=timing - - -traversal - traverse all http links derived from startfile.

See CRAWL.announce - for more information. - - -trim_input_fields - trim input text/textarea fields in forms. - - -underline_links - toggles use of underline/bold attribute for links. - - -underscore - toggles use of _underline_ format in dumps. - - -use_mouse - turn on mouse support, if available. Clicking the left mouse - button on a link traverses it. Clicking the right mouse button - pops back. Click on the top line to scroll up. Click on the - bottom line to scroll down. The first few positions in the top - and bottom line may invoke additional functions. Lynx must be - compiled with ncurses or slang to support this feature. If - ncurses is used, clicking the middle mouse button pops up a - simple menu. Mouse clicks may only work reliably while Lynx is - idle waiting for input. - - -useragent=Name - set alternate Lynx User-Agent header. - - -validate - accept only http URLs (for validation). Complete security - restrictions also are implemented. - - -verbose - toggle [LINK], [IMAGE] and [INLINE] comments with filenames of - these images. - - -version - print version information, and exit. - - -vikeys - enable vi-like key movement. - - -wdebug - enable Waterloo tcp/ip packet debug (print to watt debugfile). - This applies only to DOS versions compiled with WATTCP or - WATT-32. - - -width=NUMBER - number of columns for formatting of dumps, default is 80. This - is limited by the number of columns that Lynx could display, - typically 1024 (the MAX_LINE symbol). - - -with_backspaces - emit backspaces in output if -dump'ing or -crawl'ing (like `man' - does) - - -xhtml_parsing - tells Lynx that it can ignore certain tags which have no content - in an XHTML 1.0 document. For example "<p/>" will be discarded. - -2 Commands - o Use Up arrow and Down arrow to scroll through hypertext links. - - o Right arrow or Return will follow a highlighted hypertext link. - - o Left Arrow will retreat from a link. - - o Type "H" or "?" for online help and descriptions of key-stroke - commands. - - o Type "K" for a complete list of the current key-stroke command - mappings. - -2 Environment - In addition to various "standard" environment variables such as HOME, - PATH, USER, DISPLAY, TMPDIR, etc, Lynx utilizes several Lynx-specific - environment variables, if they exist. - - Others may be created or modified by Lynx to pass data to an external - program, or for other reasons. These are listed separately below. - - See also the sections on SIMULATED CGI SUPPORT and NATIVE LANGUAGE - SUPPORT, below. - - Note: Not all environment variables apply to all types of platforms - supported by Lynx, though most do. Feedback on platform dependencies - is solicited. - - Environment Variables Used By Lynx: - - 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 Lynx was built using the slang - screen-handling library. - - LYNX_CFG This variable, if set, will override the default - location and name of the global configuration file - (normally, lynx.cfg) that was defined by the - LYNX_CFG_FILE constant in the userdefs.h file, - during installation. See the userdefs.h file for - more information. - - LYNX_HELPFILE If set, this variable overrides the compiled-in URL - and configuration file URL for the Lynx help file. - - LYNX_LOCALEDIR If set, this variable overrides the compiled-in - location of the locale directory which contains - native language (NLS) message text. - - LYNX_LSS This variable, if set, specifies the location of - the default Lynx character style sheet file. - [Currently only meaningful if Lynx was built using - experimental color style support.] - - LYNX_SAVE_SPACE This variable, if set, will override the default - path prefix for files saved to disk that is defined - in the lynx.cfg SAVE_SPACE: statement. See the - lynx.cfg file for more information. - - LYNX_TEMP_SPACE This variable, if set, will override the default - path prefix for temporary files that was defined - during installation, as well as any value that may - be assigned to the TMPDIR variable. - - MAIL This variable specifies the default inbox Lynx will - check for new mail, if such checking is enabled in - the lynx.cfg file. - - NEWS_ORGANIZATION This variable, if set, provides the string used in - the Organization: header of USENET news postings. - It will override the setting of the ORGANIZATION - environment variable, if it is also set (and, on - UNIX, the contents of an /etc/organization file, if - present). - - NNTPSERVER If set, this variable specifies the default NNTP - server that will be used for USENET news reading - and posting with Lynx, via news: URL's. - - ORGANIZATION This variable, if set, provides the string used in - the Organization: header of USENET news postings. - On UNIX, it will override the contents of an - /etc/organization file, if present. - - PROTOCOL_proxy Lynx supports the use of proxy servers that can act - as firewall gateways and caching servers. They are - preferable to the older gateway servers (see - WWW_access_GATEWAY, below). Each protocol used by - Lynx, (http, ftp, gopher, etc), can be mapped - separately by setting environment variables of the - form PROTOCOL_proxy (literally: http_proxy, - ftp_proxy, gopher_proxy, etc), to - "http://some.server.dom:port/". See Lynx Users - Guide for additional details and examples. - - SSL_CERT_DIR Set to the directory containing trusted - certificates. - - SSL_CERT_FILE Set to the full path and filename for your file of - trusted certificates. - - WWW_access_GATEWAY Lynx still supports use of gateway servers, with - the servers specified via "WWW_access_GATEWAY" - variables (where "access" is lower case and can be - "http", "ftp", "gopher" or "wais"), however most - gateway servers have been discontinued. Note that - you do not include a terminal `/' for gateways, but - do for proxies specified by PROTOCOL_proxy - environment variables. See Lynx Users Guide for - details. - - WWW_HOME This variable, if set, will override the default - startup URL specified in any of the Lynx - configuration files. - - Environment Variables Set or Modified By Lynx: - - LYNX_PRINT_DATE This variable is set by the Lynx p(rint) function, - to the Date: string seen in the document's - "Information about" page (= cmd), if any. It is - created for use by an external program, as defined - in a lynx.cfg PRINTER: definition statement. If - the field does not exist for the document, the - variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No - Date" under VMS. - - LYNX_PRINT_LASTMOD This variable is set by the Lynx p(rint) function, - to the Last Mod: string seen in the document's - "Information about" page (= cmd), if any. It is - created for use by an external program, as defined - in a lynx.cfg PRINTER: definition statement. If - the field does not exist for the document, the - variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No - LastMod" under VMS. - - LYNX_PRINT_TITLE This variable is set by the Lynx p(rint) function, - to the Linkname: string seen in the document's - "Information about" page (= cmd), if any. It is - created for use by an external program, as defined - in a lynx.cfg PRINTER: definition statement. If - the field does not exist for the document, the - variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No - Title" under VMS. - - LYNX_PRINT_URL This variable is set by the Lynx p(rint) function, - to the URL: string seen in the document's - "Information about" page (= cmd), if any. It is - created for use by an external program, as defined - in a lynx.cfg PRINTER: definition statement. If - the field does not exist for the document, the - variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No - URL" under VMS. - - LYNX_TRACE If set, causes Lynx to write a trace file as if the - -trace option were supplied. - - LYNX_TRACE_FILE If set, overrides the compiled-in name of the trace - file, which is either Lynx.trace or LY-TRACE.LOG - (the latter on the DOS platform). The trace file - is in either case relative to the home directory. - - LYNX_VERSION This variable is always set by Lynx, and may be - used by an external program to determine if it was - invoked by Lynx. See also the comments in the - distribution's sample mailcap file, for notes on - usage in such a file. - - TERM Normally, this variable is used by Lynx to - determine the terminal type being used to invoke - Lynx. If, however, it is unset at startup time (or - has the value "unknown"), or if the -term command- - line option is used (see OPTIONS section above), - Lynx will set or modify its value to the user - specified terminal type (for the Lynx execution - environment). Note: If set/modified by Lynx, the - values of the LINES and/or COLUMNS environment - variables may also be changed. - -2 Simulated Cgi Support - If built with the cgi-links option enabled, Lynx allows access to a cgi - script directly without the need for an http daemon. - - When executing such "lynxcgi scripts" (if enabled), the following - variables may be set for simulating a CGI environment: - - CONTENT_LENGTH - - CONTENT_TYPE - - DOCUMENT_ROOT - - HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET - - HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE - - HTTP_USER_AGENT - - PATH_INFO - - PATH_TRANSLATED - - QUERY_STRING - - REMOTE_ADDR - - REMOTE_HOST - - REQUEST_METHOD - - SERVER_SOFTWARE - - Other environment variables are not inherited by the script, unless - they are provided via a LYNXCGI_ENVIRONMENT statement in the - configuration file. See the lynx.cfg file, and the (draft) CGI 1.1 - Specification <http://Web.Golux.Com/coar/cgi/draft-coar-cgi-v11-00.txt> - for the definition and usage of these variables. - - The CGI Specification, and other associated documentation, should be - consulted for general information on CGI script programming. - -2 Native Language Support - If configured and installed with Native Language Support, Lynx will - display status and other messages in your local language. See the file - ABOUT_NLS in the source distribution, or at your local GNU site, for - more information about internationalization. - - The following environment variables may be used to alter default - settings: - - LANG This variable, if set, will override the default - message language. It is an ISO 639 two-letter code - identifying the language. Language codes are NOT - the same as the country codes given in ISO 3166. - - LANGUAGE This variable, if set, will override the default - message language. This is a GNU extension that has - higher priority for setting the message catalog - than LANG or LC_ALL. - - LC_ALL and - - LC_MESSAGES These variables, if set, specify the notion of - native language formatting style. They are POSIXly - correct. - - LINGUAS This variable, if set prior to configuration, - limits the installed languages to specific values. - It is a space-separated list of two-letter codes. - Currently, it is hard-coded to a wish list. - - NLSPATH This variable, if set, is used as the path prefix - for message catalogs. - -2 Notes - This is the Lynx v2.8.7 Release; development is in progress for 2.8.8. - - If you wish to contribute to the further development of Lynx, subscribe - to our mailing list. Send email to <lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org> with - "subscribe lynx-dev" as the only line in the body of your message. - - Send bug reports, comments, suggestions to <lynx-dev@nongnu.org> after - subscribing. - - Unsubscribe by sending email to <lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org> with - "unsubscribe lynx-dev" as the only line in the body of your message. - Do not send the unsubscribe message to the lynx-dev list, itself. - -2 See Also - catgets(3), curses(3), environ(7), execve(2), ftp(1), gettext(GNU), - localeconv(3), ncurses(3), setlocale(3), slang(?), termcap(5), - terminfo(5), wget(GNU) - - Note that man page availability and section numbering is somewhat platform - dependent, and may vary from the above references. - - A section shown as (GNU), is intended to denote that the topic may be - available via an info page, instead of a man page (i.e., try "info subject", - rather than "man subject"). - - A section shown as (?) denotes that documentation on the topic exists, - but is not part of an established documentation retrieval system (see - the distribution files associated with the topic, or contact your System - Administrator for further information). - -2 Acknowledgments - Lynx has incorporated code from a variety of sources along the way. - The earliest versions of Lynx included code from Earl Fogel of Comput- - ing Services at the University of Saskatchewan, who implemented HYPER- - REZ in the Unix environment. HYPERREZ was developed by Niel Larson of - Think.com and served as the model for the early versions of Lynx. - Those versions also incorporated libraries from the Unix Gopher clients - developed at the University of Minnesota, and the later versions of - Lynx 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 Lynx to VMS and did or organized most of its development - since the departures of Lou Montulli and Garrett Blythe from the Uni- - versity of Kansas in the summer of 1994 through the release of v2.7.2, - and to everyone on the net who has contributed to Lynx's development - either directly (through patches, comments or bug reports) or indirect- - ly (through inspiration and development of other systems). - -2 Authors - Lou Montulli, Garrett Blythe, Craig Lavender, Michael Grobe, Charles - Rezac - Academic Computing Services - University of Kansas - Lawrence, Kansas 66047 - - Foteos Macrides - Worcester Foundation for Biomedical Research - Shrewsbury, Massachusetts 01545 - - Thomas E.
