NAME

elinks − lynx-like alternative character mode WWW browser

SYNOPSIS

elinks [options] URL

DESCRIPTION

ELinks is a text mode WWW browser, supporting colors, correct table rendering, background downloading, menu driven configuration interface and slim code.

Frames are supported. You can have different file formats associated with external viewers. mailto: and telnet: are supported via external clients.

ELinks can handle local (file://) or remote (http://, ftp:// or https:// if there’s compiled-in SSL support) URLs. It has also basic support for finger:.

OPTIONS

Most options can be set in the user interface or config file, so usually you do not need to care about them. Note that this list is by no means complete and it is not kept up-to-date. To get complete list of commandline options, start ELinks with parameter --help.
-anonymous
<0>/<1>

Restrict ELinks so that it can run on an anonymous account. No local file browsing. No downloads. Executing of viewers is allowed, but user can’t add or modify entries in association table.

-auto-submit <0>/<1>

Go and submit the first form you’ll stumble upon.

-base-session <number>

ID of session (ELinks instance) which we want to clone. This is internal ELinks option, you don’t want to use it.

-dump

Write a plain-text version of the given HTML document to stdout.

-dump-charset <charset>

Codepage used in dump output.

-dump-width <width>

Width of the dump output.

-eval <string>

Specify elinks.conf config options on the command-line: -eval ’set protocol.file.allow_special_files = 1’

-? -h -help

Print usage help and exit.

-lookup <hostname>

Make lookup for specified host.

-no-connect <0>/<1>

Run ELinks as a separate instance - instead of connecting to existing instance. Note that normally no runtime state files (I mean bookmarks, history and so on) are written to the disk with this option on - see also -touch-files.

-no-home <0>/<1>

Don’t attempt to create and/or use home rc directory (~/.elinks).

-session-ring <number>

ID of session ring this ELinks should connect to. The ELinks works in so-called session rings, where all instances of ELinks are interconnected and share same state (cache, bookmarks, cookies and so on). By default, all ELinks instances connect to session ring 0. You can change that behaviour by this switch and form as many session rings as you want. Obviously, if the session-ring with this number doesn’t exist yet, it’s created and this ELinks instance will become the master instance (that usually doesn’t matter for you as a user much). Note that you usually don’t want to use this except you’re a developer and you want to do some testing - if you want the ELinks instances running each one standalone, rather use -no-connect commandline option. Also note that normally no runtime state files are written to the disk with this option on - see also -touch-files.

-source <0>/<1>

Write the given HTML document in source form to stdout.

-stdin <0>/<1>

Open stdin as HTML document - it is fully equivalent to: -eval ’set protocol.file.allow_special_files = 1’ file:///dev/stdin Use whichever suits you more ;-). Note that reading document from stdin WORKS ONLY WHEN YOU USE -dump OR -source!! (I would like to know why you would use -source -stdin, though ;-)

-touch-files <0>/<1>

Set to 1 to have runtime state files (bookmarks, history, ...) changed even when -no-connect is used; has no effect if not used in connection with the -no-connect commandline option.

-version

Print ELinks version information and exit.
