CLIC(1)

NAME
clic - a text based gopher client

SYNOPSIS
clic [-t -k] [URL]

DESCRIPTION
clic is a terminal gopher client. Gopher is a simple protocol to retreive hierarchical information. The protocol is defined in RFC 1436 (Gopher).

When downloading a file, clic will save it using its filename under /tmp/

OPTIONS

[-t]
    Activate the non split mode. This prevents clic from breaking the menu display into parts when the display reaches the terminal size. This is useful when you want to scroll using your terminal.

[-k]
    Activate the kiosk mode. (Disable running external applications, temp files, downloading etc.)

[URL]
    Load [URL]. The syntax can be gopher://domain.tld or only domain.tld. Port 70 is used by default. For using another port, one should add :40550 like in domain.tld:40550.

    It is possible to load a local file using the syntax file://some_file. This file should be a gophermap as defined in the RFC. This allows for custom bookmarks to be created locally as an entry point to the gopherspace.

COMMANDS
Clic uses a simple command line for its interface. There are multiple command options for some functions. This allows clic to be used with a full keyboard or a numpad.

Number
    Follows the link numbered Number.

p | / | cd ..
    Go to previous page.

h   Display the history as a browseable menu.

sNUMBER
    Show the full URL of link numbered NUMBER. Useful for sharing or saving a link URL.

d   Dump raw result of a menu. This is useful for debugging.

r | ls | *
    Reload the current menu.

help
    Show the help text.

/ text
    Search for the specified text. This acts as a filter which will redisplay the current menu only with lines matching text. This can be used multiples times. The filter will be used on the last result to narrow the results.

^D | x | q |. | exit
    Exit clic.

PLUMBER
When some file is opened other than a text file or a menu, clic will run xdg-open(1) on it.
