lynx
, which is a text browser for the World Wide Web.
It is a Web client for users running cursor-addressable, character-cell display devices.
It will display HTML documents containing links to files residing on the local system.
The syntax of using the lynx
is given below:
lynx [options] [path or URL]where some of the options are
-dump
, which dumps the formatted output of the default document or one specified on the command line to standard output,
-help
, which displays a complete list of current options,
-listonly
, which shows only the list of links (for -dump
),
-nolist
, which disables the link list feature in dumps, and
-source
, which works the same as dump
but outputs HTML source instead of formatted text.
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.
My wife left a note on the fridge that said, “This isn’t working.” I’m not sure what she’s talking about. I opened the fridge door and it’s working fine! |
