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/sys-
       tem.urlview.  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:

       (((http|https|ftp|gopher)|mailto):(//)?[^ <>"	]*|(www|ftp)[0-9]?.[-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:

	      /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 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.)

       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.

FILES

       /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.
