<sect1>NAME
<p>
urlview - URL extractor/launcher

<sect1>SYNOPSIS
<p>
urlview &lt;filename&gt; &lsqb; &lt;filename&gt; ... &rsqb;

<sect1>DESCRIPTION
<p>
<em/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.

<sect1>CONFIGURATION
<p>
<em/urlview/ attempts to read <em>&tilde;/.urlview</em> upon startup.
If this file doesn't exist, it will try to read a system wide file 
in <em>/etc/urlview/system.urlview</em>. There are
two configuration commands (order does not matter):
<p>
REGEXP &lt;regular expression to use for URL matching&gt;
<p>

<em/urlview/ uses a regular expression to extract URLs from the specified
text files.  &bsol;r, &bsol;t, &bsol;n and &bsol;f are all converted to
their normal printf(2) meanings.  The default REGEXP is

<verb>
((http|https|ftp|gopher)|mailto):(//)?[^ >"\t]*|www\.[-a-z0-9.]+)[^ .,;\t>">]
</verb>

<p>
COMMAND &lt;command to launch with URL&gt;
<p>
If the specified command contains a ``&percnt;s'', it will be subsituted
with the URL that was requested, otherwise the URL is appended to the
COMMAND string.  The default COMMAND is
<verb>
	netscape -remote 'openURL(%s)'
</verb>
<bf/NOTE:/ you should always put single quotes ('') around usage of
``%percnt;s'' to avoid characters in the selected URL from being interpreted
by your shell.  For example, I could put the following URL in my email
messages:
	X-Nasty-Url: http://www.`program_to_execute_as_you`.com
If you pass this URL to your shell, it could have nasty consequences.
