NAME

       urlscan - browse the URLs in an email message from a terminal

SYNOPSIS

       urlscan [options] < message

       urlscan [options] message

DESCRIPTION

       urlscan	accepts a single email message on standard input, then displays a terminal-based list of the URLs in the given message.  Selecting
       a URL will invoke sensible-browser(1) on it (and hence any browser specified in the BROWSER environment variable).

       urlscan is primarily intended to be used with the mutt (1) mailreader, but it should work well with any terminal-based mail program.

       urlscan is similar to urlview(1), but has the following additional features:

       1. Support for more message encodings, such as quoted-printable and base64.

       2. Extraction and display of the context surrounding each URL.

OPTIONS

       -b, --background
	      Run the Web browser in the background, so you can select another URL without closing it (this will not work with terminal-based  Web
	      browsers such as lynx, links, or w3m).

       -c, --compact
	      Display a simple list of the extracted URLs, instead of showing the context of each URL.

MUTT INTEGRATION

       To integrate urlscan with mutt, include the following two commands in ~/.muttrc:

       macro index,pager cb "<pipe-message> urlscan<Enter>" "call urlscan to extract URLs out of a message"

       macro attach,compose cb "<pipe-entry> urlscan<Enter>" "call urlscan to extract URLs out of a message"

       Once  these  lines  are	in  your  mutt	configuration file, pressing Control-b will allow you to browse and open the URLs in the currently
       selected message.

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 /etc/urlview.conf.
       There are two configuration commands (order does not matter):

       REGEXP regexp
	      urlview  uses a regular expression to extract URLs from the specified text files.  
, 	, 
 and f are all converted to their nor-
	      mal printf(3) meanings.  The default REGEXP is:

       (((https?|ftp|gopher)://|(mailto|file|news):)[^' <>"]+|(www|web|w3).[-a-z0-9.]+)[^' .,;<>":]

       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:

	      url_handler.sh %s

       Note: You should never put single quotes around the %s.	urlview does this for you, and also makes sure that single quotes eventually show-
       ing up inside the URL are handled properly.  (Note that this shouldn't  happen  with  the  default  regular  expression,  which	explicitly
       excludes single quotes.)

FILES

       /etc/urlview.conf
	      system-wide urlview configuration file

       ~/.urlview
	      urlview configuration file

SEE ALSO

       printf(3), regcomp(3), regex(7)
