GOPHERRC(5)		       File Formats Manual		     GOPHERRC(5)

NAME
     gopherrc - configuration file for gopher(1)

DESCRIPTION
     The gopherrc file contains a list of directives that alter the behaviour of
     the gopher(1) client.  It is composed of lines of the form:

	    Token: Value

     Tokens  are  case insensitive and the value field will change, depending on
     the token.  A pound sign ("#") at the beginning of a line signifies a  com-
     ment line.

     Gopherrc  files are used in a number of places.  There is a global gopherrc
     file (called gopherrc).  This is usually placed in a systemwide  directory.
     A	file with the same format called remotegopher.rc is also used by the go-
     pher client when using the -r switch.

     Also, an individual has their own customized version of this file in  their
     home directory in the file .gopherrc. On VMS this file is called GOPHERRC.

     All of these files use the format described below.

     Most people will set the values in this file by pressing the 'O' key to set
     options  in  the  curses  gopher  client, rather than editing this file di-
     rectly.  People considering editing this file on VMS should make sure their
     editor preserves the Stream_LF format of the file.

     Quick pseudo grammar

	    map: <content type>,<display command>,<print command>
	    SearchBolding: <yes|no>
	    Bookmarks:
	    <bookmarks>

     The following tokens are recognized

     map:

     maps a content type (such as text/plain, or image/gif) to commands to  exe-
     cute for displaying the document or printing the document, i.e.

     The  content  type,  display command, and printing command are separated by
     commas.

     The sequence of %s is replaced with the filename of a temporary  file  con-
     taining the document to be printed or viewed.

     If  the  command  starts with the vertical bar (|) the command will be exe-
     cuted immediately and the document will be sent to  the  commands	standard
     input.  Note this feature does not work on VMS.

     If the display command is set to 'builtin', then the text file pager inside
     the gopher client will be used to display the item.

     SearchBolding:

     controls  the clients display of search terms.  If the value is 'yes', then
     search words will be bolded.  Otherwise they'll be left alone.

     Bookmarks:

     The bookmarks in .link format follow.  For more information on  the  format
     of a .link file, consult the gopherd(8) manual page.

     Sample gopherrc file:

      map: text/plain,builtin,lpr %s
      map: image/gif,xv %s,
      Bookmarks:
      Type=1
      Name=Bookmark #1
      Host=gopher.tc.umn.edu
      Port=70
      Path=
      #
      Type=0+
      Name=textfile
      Host=foo.com
      Path=0/readme
      Port=70
