💖 dillo(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to dillo(1), straight out of the USER COMMANDS section — this is the whole manual, and i'm about to walk you through it like we're texting at 2am. let's get into it. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

dillo — web browser. short. sweet. iconic. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dillo [OPTION]...  [--] [URL|FILE]...

literally that's it. options, maybe a -- to be polite, then as many URLs or FILEs as you want. go off. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Dillo is a lightweight graphical web browser and her whole thing is being secure. she handles HTTP all by herself internally, no middleman, no cap. and for FILE, FTP and DATA URIs? those go through a plugin system called dpi. also — EXPERIMENTAL HTTPS support can be turned on if you're feeling brave 🙈.

both FTP and Dillo's download manager are out here using the wget(1) downloader, so shoutout to wget fr fr.

she displays HTML, text, PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG and WebP files — the range, the versatility, she ate. 🍓 she handles cookies, HTTP authentication (both basic and digest), proxying (basic), and some CSS.

now the honest part: framesets get displayed as links to frames, and there is currently no support for javascript or video. i know, i know 😭.

and listen, if you want the hyphenation feature, you gotta install pattern files from CTAN into /usr/lib/dillo/hyphenation/. the way to do that is with the script dillo-install-hyphenation. call it with ISO-639-1 language codes as arguments, or call it with no arguments at all and she'll give you more help. easy. 🫶

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -f, --fullwindow — start in full window mode, which means the address bar, navigation buttons, menu, and status bar all get hidden. main character mode only, no distractions. 👑
  • -g, -geometry GEO — set where the window starts out, where GEO is WxH[{+-}X{+-}Y]. yes you read that right, it's giving geometry homework. 🌈
  • -h, --help — display this help text and exit. bye bestie 👋
  • -l, --local — for these FILEs or URLs, don't load images or stylesheets, and don't follow redirections. this is intended for use with HTML email. very demure, very safe. 🧚
  • -v, --version — display version info and exit. the "who even are you" button.
  • -x, --xid XID — open the first Dillo window inside an existing window whose window ID is XID. nesting era 💜

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

  • 0 — no error. we love to see it 💖
  • 1 — internal error. she's going through something.
  • 2 — error in command line arguments. that one's on you bestie 🙈
