urlview(1) General Commands Manual urlview(1) NAME urlview - URL extractor/launcher SYNOPSIS urlview filename [ filename ... ] DESCRIPTION urlview is a screen oriented program for extracting URLs from text files and displaying a menu from which you may launch a command to view a specific item. CONFIGURATION urlview attempts to read ~/.urlview upon startup. If this file doesn't exist, it will try to read a system wide file in /usr/lo- cal/etc/urlview/system.urlview. There are two configuration commands (order does not matter): REGEXP regexp urlview uses a regular expression to extract URLs from the spec- ified text files. \r, \t, \n and \f are all converted to their normal printf(3) meanings. The default REGEXP is: (((http|https|ftp|gopher)|mailto):(//)?[^ <>"\t]*|(www|ftp)[0-9]?\.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;\t\n\r<">\):]?[^, <>"\t]*[^ .,;\t\n\r<">\):] COMMAND command If the specified command contains a %s, it will be subsituted with the URL that was requested, otherwise the URL is appended to the COMMAND string. The default COMMAND is: /usr/local/etc/urlview/url_handler.sh Note: You should never put single quotes around the %s. urlview does this for you, and also makes sure that single quotes eventually showing up inside the URL are handled properly. (Note that this shouldn't hap- pen with the default regular expression, which explicitly excludes sin- gle quotes.) WRAP choice Enable or disable URL wrapping. Valid values for choice are: yes, no (case insensitive). If this option is not supplied, the default behaviour is to disable wrapping. QUITONLAUNCH Will cause urlview to quit after you launch a URL. FILES /usr/local/etc/urlview/system.urlview system-wide urlview configuration file ~/.urlview urlview configuration file ENVIRONMENT If the environment variable BROWSER is set to a browser command, or a colon-delimited list of commands to try, then the specified browser is used. %s is replaced with the quoted url to view. If %s is not part of a command, the url is appended to the command. The BROWSER environment variable is honored only if the rc-file doesn't contain the COMMAND option. The rc-file provided by the Debian package contains a COMMAND option.
