NAME
     surf - simple webkit-based browser

SYNOPSIS
     surf   [-bBdDfFgGiIkKmMnNpPsStTvwxX]   [-a cookiepolicies]  [-c cookiefile]
     [-C stylefile] [-e xid] [-r scriptfile] [-u useragent] [-z zoomlevel] [URI]

DESCRIPTION
     surf is a simple Web browser based on WebKit/GTK+. It is  able  to  display
     websites  and  follow links. It supports the XEmbed protocol which makes it
     possible to embed it in another application.  Furthermore,  one  can  point
     surf to another URI by setting its XProperties.

OPTIONS
     -a cookiepolicies
	    Define the order of cookie policies.  The default is "@Aa" but could
	    be	redefined  in the config.h, with "A" meaning to accept all cook-
	    ies, "a" to deny all cookies and "@", which tells surf to accept  no
	    third party cookies.

     -b     Disable Scrollbars.

     -B     Enable Scrollbars.

     -c cookiefile
	    Specify the cookiefile to use.

	    styles.

     -u useragent
	    Specify the useragent which surf should use.

     -v     Prints version information to standard output, then exits.

     -w     Prints xid to standard output.  This  can  be  used  to  script  the
	    browser in for example xdotool(1).
