# uzbl(1)

A keyboard controlled browser based on Webkit

## NAME

uzbl - A keyboard controlled browser based on Webkit

## SYNOPSIS

**uzbl** \[-u URI\] \[-v\] \[-n NAME\] \[-c CONFIG\]

## DESCRIPTION

- Very minimal interface. No unnecessary interface elements.

  Controllable through a FIFO and with external scripts.

What is not browsing, is not in uzbl. Things like url changing, loading/saving of bookmarks, saving history,.. are handled through external scripts that you write.

## OPTIONS

- *-u, --uri=URI*

  Uri to load (equivalent to 'set uri = URI')

- *-v, --verbose*

  Whether to print all messages or just errors.

- *-n, --name=NAME*

  Name of the current instance (defaults to Xorg window id)

- *-c, --config=FILE*

  Config file (this is pretty much equivalent to uzbl -c - \< FILE )

- *--display=DISPLAY*

  X display to use

- *--help*

  Help
