WEBBROWSER(1)          DragonFly General Commands Manual         WEBBROWSER(1)

NAME
       Webbrowser - run the best available browser on this system

SYNOPSIS
       webbrowser [-h|--help]
       webbrowser [-b|--browsers 'browser list'] [arguments to browser]

DESCRIPTION
       Webbrowser is a shell script that attempts to find and run the best
       available browser from a list, which may be specified on the command
       line, via the environment, or from a built in default list.

       Webbrowser is intended for use from applications that use HTML or other
       browser-based documentation, but cannot depend on a specific browser
       being installed.

       A browser list specified on the command line overrides other lists.  If
       no list is specified on the command line, webbrowser checks the
       environment variable BESTBROWSERS.  If this variable does not exist,
       webbrowser falls back to a built-in default list.

       Additional arguments are passed onto whichever browser is invoked.  It
       is the user's (or calling application's) responsibility to ensure that
       the arguments are appropriate for any browser that might be selected.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Display a brief usage synopsis.

       -b, --browsers 'list'
              Select from 'list' instead of the default list.  The list must
              be quoted in order to separate it from 'arguments'.

ENVIRONMENT
       $BESTBROWSERS
