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 terminals, vt100 emulators running on
       Windows 95/NT or Macintoshes, or  any  other  "curses-ori-
       ented"  display).   It  will display hypertext markup lan-
       guage (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  isolated
       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."


       -      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).

       -accept_all_cookies
              accept all cookies.

       -anonymous
              used to specify the anonymous account.

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

       -assume_local_charset=ID: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 bg colors for color mode, if
              available and  supported  by  the  terminal.   Lynx
              needs  to  be  compiled  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 refer-
              ences, and converts them to news links.  Not recom-
              mended  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.  A saved show_color=always setting
              found in a .lynxrc file at  startup  has  the  same
              effect.  A saved show_color=always found in .lynxrc
              on startup is overridden by this flag.

       -cookies
              toggles handling of Set-Cookie headers.

              when, for example, Lynx connects to a remote TCP/IP
              port that starts a script  that,  in  turn,  starts
              another Lynx process.)

       -tlog  toggles  use  of  a  Lynx Trace Log for the current
              session.

       -trace turns on WWW trace mode.

       -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 xterm mouse  support.   Clicking  the  left
              mouse  button on a link traverses it.  Clicking the

              right mouse button pops back.  Click in  the  first
              line  of  a  page  to scroll up.  Click in the last
              line of a page to scroll down.  Lynx must  be  com-

              ture.

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

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

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

       -version
              print version information.

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

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

ENVIRONMENT
       In  addition  to  various "standard" environment variables
       such as HOME, PATH, USER, DISPLAY, TMPDIR, etc, Lynx  uti-
       lizes 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 SUPPORT, 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 ter-
                           minal is forced on  at  startup  time.
                           The actual value assigned to the vari-
                           able 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, during  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.   [Currently  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  informa-
                           tion.

       LYNX_TEMP_SPACE     This  variable,  if set, will override
                           the default path prefix for  temporary
                           files  that was defined during instal-
                           lation, 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 ORGA-
                           NIZATION environment variable,  if  it
                           is  also  set  (and, on UNIX, the con-
                           tents 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 pro-
                           tocol  used  by  Lynx,   (http,   ftp,
                           gopher, etc), can be mapped separately
                           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 PROTO-
                           COL_proxy  environment 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 configuration files.

       Environment Variables Set or Modified By Lynx:

                           field does not exist for the document,
                           the variable is set to a  null  string
                           under UNIX, or "No Date" under VMS.

       LYNX_PRINT_TITLE    This  variable  is  set  by  the  Lynx
                           p(rint)  function,  to  the  Linkname:
                           string  seen in the document's "Infor-

                           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  "Information

                           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
                           distribution's  sample  mailcap  file,
                           for notes on usage in such a file.

       TERM                Normally, this  variable  is  used  by
                           Lynx  to  determine  the terminal type
                           being used to invoke Lynx.   If,  how-
                           ever,  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 speci-
                           fied terminal type (for the Lynx  exe-
                           cution    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  variables may be set for simulating a CGI envi-
       ronment:

       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 configuration  file.   See  the  lynx.cfg
       file,    and    the    (draft)   CGI   1.1   Specification
       <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 distribu-
       tion, or at your local  GNU  site,  for  more  information
       about internationalization.

       The  following  environment variables may be used to alter

       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 prior-
                           ity for setting  the  message  catalog

       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 config-
                           uration,  limits  the  installed  lan-
                           guages  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.

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

       A  section  shown as (?) denotes that documentation on the
       topic exists, but is not part of an established documenta-
       tion  retrieval system (see the distribution files associ-
       ated with the topic, or contact your System  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  Computing  Services  at the University of
       Saskatchewan, who implemented HYPERREZ in the  Unix  envi-
       ronment.    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 University of  Kansas  in  the
       summer  of  1994 through the release of v2.7.2, and to ev-
       eryone on the net who has contributed to  Lynx's  develop-
       ment either directly (through patches, comments or bug re-
       ports) or indirectly (through inspiration and  development
       of other systems).
