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: (((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: /usr/bin/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.conf 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. SEE ALSO

git-web--browse - git helper script to launch a web browser SYNOPSIS
git web--browse [OPTIONS] URL/FILE ... DESCRIPTION
This script tries, as much as possible, to display the URLs and FILEs that are passed as arguments, as HTML pages in new tabs on an already opened web browser. The following browsers (or commands) are currently supported: o firefox (this is the default under X Window when not using KDE) o iceweasel o konqueror (this is the default under KDE, see Note about konqueror below) o w3m (this is the default outside graphical environments) o links o lynx o dillo o open (this is the default under Mac OS X GUI) o start (this is the default under MinGW) Custom commands may also be specified. OPTIONS
-b BROWSER, --browser=BROWSER Use the specified BROWSER. It must be in the list of supported browsers. -t BROWSER, --tool=BROWSER Same as above. -c CONF.VAR, --config=CONF.VAR CONF.VAR is looked up in the git config files. If it's set, then its value specify the browser that should be used. CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed with the -c (or --config) command line option, or the web.browser configuration variable if the former is not used. browser.<tool>.path You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by setting the configuration variable browser.<tool>.path. For example, you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting browser.firefox.path. Otherwise, git web--browse assumes the tool is available in PATH. browser.<tool>.cmd When the browser, specified by options or configuration variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding browser.<tool>.cmd configuration variable will be looked up. If this variable exists then git web--browse will treat the specified tool as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with the URLs passed as arguments. NOTE ABOUT KONQUEROR
When konqueror is specified by a command line option or a configuration variable, we launch kfmclient to try to open the HTML man page on an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible. For consistency, we also try such a trick if browser.konqueror.path is set to something like A_PATH_TO/konqueror. That means we will try to launch A_PATH_TO/kfmclient instead. If you really want to use konqueror, then you can use something like the following: .ft C [web] browser = konq [browser "konq"] cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror .ft Note about git-config --global Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using the --global flag, for example like this: .ft C $ git config --global web.browser firefox .ft as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. See git-config(1) for more information about this. AUTHOR
