<p>
w3m is a pager/text-based WWW browser. You can browse local
documents and/or documents on the WWW using a terminal emulator.
</p>
<hr>
<h2 id="Options">
Options
</h2>
<p>
Command line usage is
</p>
<!-- mh 2016-08-06 invocation adapted to w3m(1). w3m accepts several options and several targets -->
<pre>
w3m [option]... [file|URL]...
</pre>
<p>
If you specify filenames/URLs on the command line, these documents
are displayed. If you specify nothing, w3m will read a document
from standard input and display it. If it doesn't find a document
there either then normally w3m will terminate.

<h2 id="Functions">
Functions and Key bindings
</h2>
<p>
After invocation, you can control w3m by typing in functions by name
or with keystroke combinations bound to a function. There are
default key bindings.
<!-- mh 2016-06-13 obsolete
If you prefer using Lynx-like
key bindings, make w3m start with the respective keymap file keymap.lynx. (see w3m (1)).-->
</p>
<!--
<h2 id="Key:custom">
Key customization
</h2>
-->
<p>
You can customize the key bindings (except those for menu
operations and line-editing) in a ~/.w3m/keymap file. For example,
</p>
<pre>
keymap C-o NEXT_PAGE
</pre>
<p>
binds the command <span class="mono">NEXT_PAGE</span> (normally bound to SPC and C-v)
to control-o. See <a href="README.func">README.func</a> for a list
of available functions. Original and Lynx-like keymap definitions
are provided as examples: <a href="keymap.default">keymap.default</a>
and <a href="keymap.lynx">keymap.lynx</a>.
</p>
<p>
Throughout, the <i>C-</i> and <i>M-</i> notations indicate the
modifiers <i>control</i> and <i>meta</i>. The <i>ALT</i>-key
replaces the latter whereas pressing the <i>ESC</i>-key toggles
between <i>meta</i>-modified and simple keystrokes. The minus
indicates pressing the keys simultaneously wheras a space
represents that one key is pressed after the other, i.e. <i>2 M</i>
simply means <i>2</i> followed by <i>M</i>.

<h2 id="LocalCGI">
Local CGI scripts
</h2>
<p>
You can run CGI scripts using w3m, without any HTTP server.
This means that w3m behaves like an HTTP server and runs the CGI
script, then reads the output of the script and displays it. For
example, the bookmark registration system and default directory
browser are realized as local CGI scripts. Moreover, such scripts
allow w3m to be used as a form interface to acquire all kinds of
data.
</p>
<p>
For security reason, CGI scripts invoked by w3m must be in one of
the following directories:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The directory where w3m-related files are stored (typically
/usr/local/lib/w3m). This directory can be referenced as $LIB.
</li>
<li>
The /cgi-bin/ directory. You can map /cgi-bin/ to any directory you
like in the options setting panel (the <q>Directory corresponds to
/cgi-bin</q> field). You can specify multiple paths separated by
<q>:</q>, like /usr/local/cgi-bin:/home/aito/cgi-bin. It is not
recommended to include the current directory to this path. To use
a /cgi-bin/ directory, you must use a file:/cgi-bin URL as follows:
</li>
<pre>
w3m -o cgi_bin=/path/to/cgi-bin file:/cgi-bin/script.cgi
</pre>
</ul>
<p>
The CGI script can use the special header
<span class="mono">w3m-control:</span> to
control w3m. This field can take any function (see
<a href="README.func">README.func</a>), and the specified function
is invoked after the document is displayed. For example, the CGI
output
</p>
<pre>
Content-Type: text/plain
W3m-control: BACK
</pre>
<p>
will display a blank page and delete that buffer immediately.
This is useful when you don't want to display any page after
the script is invoked. The next example
</p>
<pre>
Content-Type: text/plain
W3m-control: DELETE_PREVBUF
contents.....
</pre>
<p>
will override the current buffer.
</p>
<p>
Each header <span class="mono">w3m-control:</span> can
contain only one function, but you can
include more than one <span class="mono">w3m-control:</span>
line in the HTTP header.
In addition, you can specify an argument to the GOTO function:
</p>
<pre>
Content-Type: text/plain
W3m-control: GOTO http://www.example.org/
</pre>
<p>
This example works exactly the same way as the Location header:
</p>
<pre>
Content-Type: text/plain
Location: http://www.example.org/
</pre>
<p>
Note that this header has no effect when the CGI script is invoked
through an HTTP server.
