NAME
       lynx  - a general purpose distributed information browser for the World
       Wide Web

SYNOPSIS
       lynx [options] [path or URL]

       use "lynx -help" to display a complete list of current options.

DESCRIPTION
       Lynx is a fully-featured World Wide Web (WWW) client for users  running
       cursor-addressable,  character-cell display devices (e.g., vt100 termi‐
       nals, vt100 emulators running on Windows 95/NT or Macintoshes,  or  any
       other  "curses-oriented"	 display).   It	 will display hypertext markup
       language (HTML) documents containing links to  files  residing  on  the
       local  system,  as  well	 as  files  residing on remote systems running
       Gopher, HTTP, FTP, WAIS, and NNTP servers.  Current  versions  of  Lynx
       run on Unix, VMS, Windows 95/NT, 386DOS and OS/2 EMX.

       Lynx  can  be  used  to access information on the World Wide Web, or to
       build information systems intended primarily  for  local	 access.   For
       example,	 Lynx  has  been used to build several Campus Wide Information
       Systems (CWIS).	In addition, Lynx can be used to  build	 systems  iso‐
       lated within a single LAN.

OPTIONS
       At  start  up, Lynx will load any local file or remote URL specified at
       the command line.  For help with URLs, press "?"	 or "H" while  running
       Lynx.  Then follow the link titled, "Help on URLs."

       Lynx  uses  only	 long option names. Option names can begin with double
       dash as well, underscores and dashes can be intermixed in option	 names
       (in  the reference below options are with one dash before them and with
       underscores).

       -      If the argument is only '-', then Lynx expects  to  receive  the
	      arguments from stdin.  This is to allow for the potentially very
	      long command line that can be associated with the	 -get_data  or
	      -post_data  arguments (see below).  It can also be used to avoid
	      having sensitive information in the invoking command line (which
	      would be visible to other processes on most systems), especially
	      when the -auth or -pauth options are used.

       -accept_all_cookies
	      accept all cookies.

       -anonymous
	      apply restrictions for anonymous	account,  see  also  -restric‐
	      tions.

       -assume_charset=MIMEname
	      charset for documents that don't specify it.

       -assume_local_charset=MIMEname
	      charset assumed for local files.

       -assume_unrec_charset=MIMEname
	      use this instead of unrecognized charsets.

       -auth=ID:PASSWD
	      set  authorization  ID  and  password for protected documents at
	      startup.	Be sure to protect any script  files  which  use  this
	      switch.

       -base  prepend  a request URL comment and BASE tag to text/html outputs
	      for -source dumps.

       -blink forces high intensity  background	 colors	 for  color  mode,  if
	      available	 and supported by the terminal.	 Lynx needs to be com‐
	      piled with the slang library for this flag.

       -book  use the bookmark page as the startfile.  The default or  command
	      line  startfile  is  still  set for the Main screen command, and
	      will be used if the bookmark page is unavailable or blank.

       -buried_news
	      toggles scanning of news articles	 for  buried  references,  and
	      converts	them  to  news	links.	 Not recommended because email
	      addresses enclosed in angle brackets will be converted to	 false
	      news links, and uuencoded messages can be trashed.

       -cache=NUMBER
	      set  the	NUMBER	of documents cached in memory.	The default is
	      10.

       -case  enable case-sensitive string searching.

       -cfg=FILENAME
	      specifies a Lynx	configuration  file  other  than  the  default
	      lynx.cfg.

       -child exit on left-arrow in startfile, and disable save to disk.

       -color forces  color  mode  on,	if  available.	 Default color control
	      sequences which work for many terminal types are assumed if  the
	      terminal	capability  description does not specify how to handle
	      color.  Lynx needs to be compiled with  the  slang  library  for
	      this flag, it is equivalent to setting the COLORTERM environment
	      variable.	 (If color support is instead  provided	 by  a	color-
	      capable  curses  library like ncurses, Lynx relies completely on
	      the terminal description to determine whether color mode is pos‐
	      sible,  and  this	 flag  is not needed and thus unavailable.)  A
	      saved show_color=always setting  found  in  a  .lynxrc  file  at
	      startup  has the same effect.  A saved show_color=never found in
	      .lynxrc on startup is overridden by this flag.

       -cookies
	      toggles handling of Set-Cookie headers.

       -cookie_file=FILENAME
	      specifies a file to use to store cookies.

       -core  toggles forced core dumps on fatal errors.

       -crawl with -traversal, output each page to a file.  with -dump, format
	      output as with -traversal, but to stdout.

       -debug_partial
	      incremental display stages with MessageSecs delay

       -display=DISPLAY
	      set the display variable for X rexec-ed programs.

       -dont_wrap_pre
	      inhibit wrapping of text in <pre> when -dump'ing and -crawl'ing,
	      mark wrapped lines in interactive session.

       -dump  dumps the formatted output of the default document or one speci‐
	      fied  on	the command line to standard output.  This can be used
	      in the following way:

	      lynx -dump http://www.crl.com/~subir/lynx.html

       -editor=EDITOR
	      enable external editing, using the specified  EDITOR.  (vi,  ed,
	      emacs, etc.)

       -emacskeys
	      enable emacs-like key movement.

       -enable_scrollback
	      toggles  compatibility  with  communication programs' scrollback
	      keys (may be incompatible with some curses packages).

       -error_file=FILE
	      define a file where Lynx will report HTTP access codes.

       -exec  enable local program execution (normally not configured).

       -fileversions
	      include all versions of files in local VMS directory listings.

       -force_empty_hrefless_a
	      force HREF-less 'A' elements to be empty (close them as soon  as
	      they are seen).

       -force_html
	      forces the first document to be interpreted as HTML.

       -force_secure
	      toggles forcing of the secure flag for SSL cookies.

       -forms_options
	      toggles whether the Options Menu is key-based or form-based.

       -from  toggles transmissions of From headers.

       -ftp   disable ftp access.

       -get_data
	      send form data from stdin using GET method and dump results.

       -head  send a HEAD request for the mime headers.

       -help  print the Lynx command syntax usage message.

       -hiddenlinks=[option]
	      control the display of hidden links.

	      merge hidden links show up as bracketed numbers and are numbered
	      together with other links in the sequence of their occurrence in
	      the document.

	      listonly	hidden links are shown only on L)ist screens and list‐
	      ings generated by -dump or from the P)rint menu, but appear sep‐
	      arately  at  the end of those lists.  This is the default behav‐
	      ior.

	      ignore hidden links do not appear even in listings.

       -historical
	      toggles use of '>' or '-->' as a terminator for comments.

	      This flag is not available on all systems, Lynx needs to be com‐
	      piled  with HAVE_SIGACTION defined.  If available, this flag may
	      cause Lynx to react more immediately to window changes when  run
	      within an xterm.

	      ity).  This restriction applies to "news",  "nntp",  "newspost",
	      and  "newsreply"	URLs,  but  not	 to  "snews",  "snewspost", or
	      "snewsreply" in case they are supported.

	      useragent - disallow modifications of the User-Agent header.

       -resubmit_posts
	      toggles forced resubmissions (no-cache)  of  forms  with	method
	      POST  when  the  documents  they	returned  are  sought with the
	      PREV_DOC command or from the History List.

       -rlogin
	      disable recognition of rlogin commands.

       -selective
	      require .www_browsable files to browse directories.

       -short_url
	      show very long URLs in the status line with "___"	 to  represent
	      the portion which cannot be displayed.  The beginning and end of
	      the URL are displayed, rather than suppressing the end.

       -show_cursor
	      If enabled the cursor will not be hidden in the right hand  cor‐
	      ner but will instead be positioned at the start of the currently
	      selected link.  Show cursor is the default for  systems  without
	      FANCY_CURSES  capabilities.   The	 default  configuration can be
	      changed in userdefs.h or lynx.cfg.  The command line switch tog‐
	      gles the default.

       -soft_dquotes
	      toggles  emulation  of  the  old	Netscape  and Mosaic bug which
	      treated '>' as a co-terminator for double-quotes and tags.

       -source
	      works the same as dump but outputs HTML source instead  of  for‐
	      matted text.

       -stack_dump
	      disable SIGINT cleanup handler

       -startfile_ok
	      allow non-http startfile and homepage with -validate.

       -tagsoup
	      initialize parser, using Tag Soup DTD rather than SortaSGML.

       -telnet
	      disable recognition of telnet commands.

       -term=TERM
	      tell  Lynx what terminal type to assume it is talking to.	 (This
	      may be useful for remote execution, when, for example, Lynx con‐
	      nects  to	 a  remote  TCP/IP  port that starts a script that, in
	      turn, starts another Lynx process.)

       -tlog  toggles between using a Lynx Trace Log and stderr for trace out‐
	      put from the session.

       -tna   turns on "Textfields Need Activation" mode.

       -trace turns  on	 Lynx trace mode.  Destination of trace output depends
	      on -tlog.

       -traversal
	      traverse all http links derived from startfile.  When used  with
	      -crawl,  each link that begins with the same string as startfile
	      is output to a file, intended for indexing.  See	CRAWL.announce
	      for more information.

       -underscore
	      toggles use of _underline_ format in dumps.

       -use_mouse
	      turn  on	mouse  support, if available.  Clicking the left mouse
	      button on a link traverses it.  Clicking the right mouse	button
	      pops  back.   Click  on the top line to scroll up.  Click on the
	      bottom line to scroll down.  The first few positions in the  top
	      and  bottom  line may invoke additional functions.  Lynx must be
	      compiled with ncurses or slang  to  support  this	 feature.   If
	      ncurses is used, clicking the middle mouse button pops up a sim‐
	      ple menu.	 Mouse clicks may only work  reliably  while  Lynx  is
	      idle waiting for input.

       -useragent=Name
	      set alternate Lynx User-Agent header.

       -validate
	      accept  only  http  URLs	(for  validation).   Complete security
	      restrictions also are implemented.

       -verbose
	      toggle [LINK], [IMAGE] and [INLINE] comments with	 filenames  of
	      these images.

       -version
	      print version information.

       -vikeys
	      enable vi-like key movement.

       -wdebug
	      enable  Waterloo	tcp/ip packet debug (print to watt debugfile).
	      This applies only	 to  DOS  versions  compiled  with  WATTCP  or
	      WATT-32.

       -width=NUMBER
	      number of columns for formatting of dumps, default is 80.

       -with_backspaces
	      emit  backspaces	in output if -dumping or -crawling (like 'man'
	      does)

COMMANDS
       o Use Up arrow and Down arrow to scroll through hypertext links.
       o Right arrow or Return will follow a highlighted hypertext link.
       o Left Arrow will retreat from a link.
       o Type "H" or "?" for online help and descriptions of  key-stroke  com‐
       mands.
       o  Type	"K" for a complete list of the current key-stroke command map‐
       pings.

ENVIRONMENT
       In addition to various "standard" environment variables such  as	 HOME,
       PATH,  USER,  DISPLAY, TMPDIR, etc, Lynx utilizes several Lynx-specific
       environment variables, if they exist.

       Others may be created or modified by Lynx to pass data to  an  external
       program, or for other reasons.  These are listed separately below.

       See also the sections on SIMULATED CGI SUPPORT and NATIVE LANGUAGE SUP‐
       PORT, below.

       Note:  Not all environment variables apply to all  types	 of  platforms
       supported  by  Lynx, though most do.  Feedback on platform dependencies
       is solicited.

       Environment Variables Used By Lynx:

       COLORTERM	   If set, color capability for the terminal is forced
			   on  at  startup time.  The actual value assigned to
			   the variable is ignored.   This  variable  is  only
			   meaningful  if  Lynx	 was  built  using  the	 slang
			   screen-handling library.

       LYNX_CFG		   This variable, if set, will	override  the  default
			   location  and name of the global configuration file
			   (normally,  lynx.cfg)  that	was  defined  by   the
			   LYNX_CFG_FILE constant in the userdefs.h file, dur‐
			   ing installation.  See the userdefs.h file for more
			   information.

       LYNX_LSS		   This	 variable,  if	set, specifies the location of
			   the default Lynx character style sheet file.	 [Cur‐
			   rently  only	 meaningful  if	 Lynx  was built using
			   experimental color style support.]

       LYNX_SAVE_SPACE	   This variable, if set, will	override  the  default
			   path prefix for files saved to disk that is defined
			   in the lynx.cfg  SAVE_SPACE:	 statement.   See  the
			   lynx.cfg file for more information.

       LYNX_TEMP_SPACE	   This	 variable,  if	set, will override the default
			   path prefix for temporary files  that  was  defined
			   during  installation, as well as any value that may
			   be assigned to the TMPDIR variable.

       MAIL		   This variable specifies the default inbox Lynx will
			   check  for new mail, if such checking is enabled in
			   the lynx.cfg file.

       NEWS_ORGANIZATION   This variable, if set, provides the string used  in
			   the	Organization:  header of USENET news postings.
			   It will override the setting	 of  the  ORGANIZATION
			   environment	variable,  if  it is also set (and, on
			   UNIX, the contents of an /etc/organization file, if
			   present).

       NNTPSERVER	   If  set,  this  variable specifies the default NNTP
			   server that will be used for	 USENET	 news  reading
			   and posting with Lynx, via news: URL's.

       ORGANIZATION	   This	 variable, if set, provides the string used in
			   the Organization: header of USENET  news  postings.
			   On  UNIX,  it  will	override  the  contents	 of an
			   /etc/organization file, if present.

       PROTOCOL_proxy	   Lynx supports the use of proxy servers that can act
			   as firewall gateways and caching servers.  They are
			   preferable  to  the	older  gateway	servers	  (see
			   WWW_access_GATEWAY,	below).	 Each protocol used by
			   Lynx, (http, ftp, gopher, etc), can be mapped sepa‐
			   rately by setting environment variables of the form
			   PROTOCOL_proxy (literally:  http_proxy,  ftp_proxy,
			   gopher_proxy,		etc),		    to
			   "http://some.server.dom:port/".   See  Lynx	 Users
			   Guide for additional details and examples.

       WWW_access_GATEWAY  Lynx	 still	supports  use of gateway servers, with
			   the	servers	 specified  via	  "WWW_access_GATEWAY"
			   variables  (where "access" is lower case and can be
			   "http", "ftp", "gopher" or  "wais"),	 however  most
			   gateway  servers have been discontinued.  Note that
			   you do not include a terminal '/' for gateways, but
			   do for proxies specified by PROTOCOL_proxy environ‐
			   ment variables.  See Lynx Users Guide for details.

       WWW_HOME		   This variable, if set, will	override  the  default
			   startup URL specified in any of the Lynx configura‐
			   tion files.

       Environment Variables Set or Modified By Lynx:

       LYNX_PRINT_DATE	   This variable is set by the Lynx p(rint)  function,
			   to  the Date: string seen in the document's "Infor‐
			   mation about" page (= cmd), if any.	It is  created
			   for	use  by	 an  external program, as defined in a
			   lynx.cfg PRINTER:  definition  statement.   If  the
			   field does not exist for the document, the variable
			   is set to a null string under UNIX,	or  "No	 Date"
			   under VMS.

       LYNX_PRINT_LASTMOD  This	 variable is set by the Lynx p(rint) function,
			   to the Last Mod:  string  seen  in  the  document's
			   "Information	 about"	 page  (= cmd), if any.	 It is
			   created for use by an external program, as  defined
			   in  a  lynx.cfg  PRINTER: definition statement.  If
			   the field does not  exist  for  the	document,  the
			   variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No
			   LastMod" under VMS.

       LYNX_PRINT_TITLE	   This variable is set by the Lynx p(rint)  function,
			   to  the  Linkname:  string  seen  in the document's
			   "Information about" page (= cmd), if	 any.	It  is
			   created  for use by an external program, as defined
			   in a lynx.cfg PRINTER:  definition  statement.   If
			   the	field  does  not  exist	 for the document, the
			   variable is set to a null string under UNIX, or "No
			   Title" under VMS.

       LYNX_PRINT_URL	   This	 variable is set by the Lynx p(rint) function,
			   to the URL: string seen in the document's "Informa‐
			   tion	 about"	 page  (= cmd), if any.	 It is created
			   for use by an external program,  as	defined	 in  a
			   lynx.cfg  PRINTER:  definition  statement.	If the
			   field does not exist for the document, the variable
			   is  set  to	a  null string under UNIX, or "No URL"
			   under VMS.

       LYNX_VERSION	   This variable is always set by  Lynx,  and  may  be
			   used	 by an external program to determine if it was
			   invoked by Lynx.  See also the comments in the dis‐
			   tribution's sample mailcap file, for notes on usage
			   in such a file.

       TERM		   Normally, this variable is used by Lynx  to	deter‐
			   mine	 the  terminal type being used to invoke Lynx.
			   If, however, it is unset at startup	time  (or  has
			   the	value "unknown"), or if the -term command-line
			   option is used (see OPTIONS	section	 above),  Lynx
			   will	 set or modify its value to the user specified
			   terminal type (for the Lynx execution environment).
			   Note:  If  set/modified  by Lynx, the values of the
			   LINES and/or COLUMNS environment variables may also
			   be changed.

SIMULATED CGI SUPPORT
       If built with the cgi-links option enabled, Lynx allows access to a cgi
       script directly without the need for an http daemon.

       When executing such "lynxcgi scripts" (if enabled), the following vari‐
       ables may be set for simulating a CGI environment:

       CONTENT_LENGTH

       CONTENT_TYPE

       DOCUMENT_ROOT

       HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET

       HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE

       HTTP_USER_AGENT

       PATH_INFO

       PATH_TRANSLATED

       QUERY_STRING

       REMOTE_ADDR

       REMOTE_HOST

       REQUEST_METHOD

       SERVER_SOFTWARE

       Other  environment  variables  are  not inherited by the script, unless
       they are provided via a LYNXCGI_ENVIRONMENT statement in the configura‐
       tion  file.   See the lynx.cfg file, and the (draft) CGI 1.1 Specifica‐
       tion <http://Web.Golux.Com/coar/cgi/draft-coar-cgi-v11-00.txt> for  the
       definition and usage of these variables.

       The  CGI	 Specification,	 and other associated documentation, should be
       consulted for general information on CGI script programming.

NATIVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
       If configured and installed with Native	Language  Support,  Lynx  will
       display status and other messages in your local language.  See the file
       ABOUT_NLS in the source distribution, or at your local  GNU  site,  for
       more information about internationalization.

       The  following  environment variables may be used to alter default set‐
       tings:

       LANG		   This variable, if set, will	override  the  default
			   message language.  It is an ISO 639 two-letter code
			   identifying the language.  Language codes  are  NOT
			   the same as the country codes given in ISO 3166.

       LANGUAGE		   This	 variable,  if	set, will override the default
			   message language.  This is a GNU extension that has
			   higher  priority  for  setting  the message catalog
			   than LANG or LC_ALL.

       LC_ALL		   and

       LC_MESSAGES	   These variables, if	set,  specify  the  notion  of
			   native language formatting style.  They are POSIXly
			   correct.

       LINGUAS		   This variable, if set prior to configuration,  lim‐
			   its the installed languages to specific values.  It
			   is a	 space-separated  list	of  two-letter	codes.
			   Currently, it is hard-coded to a wish list.

       NLSPATH		   This	 variable,  if set, is used as the path prefix
			   for message catalogs.

       Note that man page availability and section numbering is somewhat plat‐
       form dependent, and may vary from the above references.

       A section shown as (GNU), is intended to denote that the topic  may  be
       available via an info page, instead of a man page (i.e., try "info sub‐
       ject", rather than "man subject").

       A section shown as (?) denotes that documentation on the topic  exists,
       but  is	not part of an established documentation retrieval system (see
       the distribution files associated with the topic, or contact your  Sys‐
       tem Administrator for further information).

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
       Lynx  has  incorporated	code  from a variety of sources along the way.
       The earliest versions of Lynx included code from Earl Fogel of  Comput‐
       ing  Services at the University of Saskatchewan, who implemented HYPER‐
       REZ in the Unix environment.  HYPERREZ was developed by Niel Larson  of
       Think.com  and  served  as  the	model  for the early versions of Lynx.
       Those versions also incorporated libraries from the Unix Gopher clients
       developed  at  the  University  of Minnesota, and the later versions of
       Lynx rely on the WWW client library code developed by  Tim  Berners-Lee
       and  the	 WWW  community.  Also a special thanks to Foteos Macrides who
       ported much of Lynx to VMS and did or organized most of its development
       since  the  departures of Lou Montulli and Garrett Blythe from the Uni‐
       versity of Kansas in the summer of 1994 through the release of  v2.7.2,
       and  to	everyone  on the net who has contributed to Lynx's development
       either directly (through patches, comments or bug reports) or indirect‐
       ly (through inspiration and development of other systems).
