WEBBROWSER(1)		     General Commands Manual		   WEBBROWSER(1)

NAME
     Webbrowser - run the best available browser on this system

SYNOPSIS
     webbrowser [-h|--help]
     webbrowser [-b|--browsers 'browser list'] [arguments to browser]

DESCRIPTION
     Webbrowser  is a shell script that attempts to find and run the best avail-
     able browser from a list, which may be specified on the command  line,  via
     the environment, or from a built in default list.

     Webbrowser  is  intended  for  use from applications that use HTML or other
     browser-based documentation, but cannot depend on a specific browser  being
     installed.

     A	browser list specified on the command line overrides other lists.  If no
     list is specified on the command line, webbrowser	checks	the  environment
     variable  BESTBROWSERS.   If this variable does not exist, webbrowser falls
     back to a built-in default list.

     Additional arguments are passed onto whichever browser is invoked.   It  is
     the user's (or calling application's) responsibility to ensure that the ar-
     guments are appropriate for any browser that might be selected.

OPTIONS
     -h, --help
	    Display a brief usage synopsis.

     -b, --browsers 'list'
	    Select  from  'list'  instead of the default list.	The list must be
	    quoted in order to separate it from 'arguments'.

ENVIRONMENT
     $BESTBROWSERS
