gemsurf

A simple interface to gemcache. The gemcache daemon fetches content over the Gemini protocol. The gemsurf interface accepts commands from standard input stream. The gemsurf interface is meant to be used through an actual user interface, such as a graphical interface, or through an edbrowse(1)-like interface, i.e. the commands are meant to be "typed" by an another command, i.e. gemsurf is meant to be a plugin to an another program.

Commands

b browse to an URL l show source code for the given line x execute link on the given line q quit

Command line options
