urlview - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
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
doesnt exist, it will try to read a system wide file
in
/etc/urlview.conf. There are two configuration commands (order does not matter):
Tag | Description |
REGEXP regexp
| |
urlview uses a regular expression to extract URLs from the specified
text files. \r, \t, \n and \f are all converted to
their normal
printf(3)
meanings. The default REGEXP is:
|
(((https?|ftp|gopher)://|(mailto|file|news):)[^ <>"]+|(www|web|w3).[-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:
url_handler.sh %s
|
Note: You should
never put single quotes around the
%s. urlview does this for you, and also makes sure that single quotes eventually
showing up inside the URL are handled properly. (Note that this
shouldnt happen with the default regular expression, which
explicitly excludes single quotes.)
FILES
Tag | Description |
/etc/urlview.conf
