CLIC(1)

NAME
clic - a text based gopher client

SYNOPSIS
clic [-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

[-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 to have some kind of a bookmark locally as an entry point to the gopherspace.
