NAME
surfraw - a fast unix command line interface to WWW services
SYNOPSIS
surfraw [options] search_words...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the surfraw commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. It could be incomplete and/or not so up-to-date.
See /usr/share/doc/surfraw/README for documentation.
surfraw provides a fast unix command line interface to a variety of popular WWW search engines and other artifacts of power. It reclaims google, altavista, dejanews, freshmeat, research index, slashdot and many others from the false-prophet, pox-infested heathen lands of html-forms, placing these wonders where they belong, deep in unix heartland, as god loving extensions to the shell.
