ERIC6_BROWSER(1)

📦 version 21.1, in ubuntu jammy

🦋 ERIC6_BROWSER — the girlypop guide 🦋

okay bestie, so this is ERIC6_BROWSER(1), a General Commands Manual page, and it's literally all about eric6_browser. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

eric6_browser — the eric6 web browser, powered by QtWebEngine. no cap, that's the whole name.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

eric6_browser [options] files...

so you give it some options, you give it some files, and it does its thing. iconic behavior.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so first things first: this manual page documents the eric6_browser command briefly. just the highlights, the trailer, the vibe check.

and the tea is ☕: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program literally does not have a manual page. so Debian said "fine, we'll do it ourselves" and honestly? queen energy.

so what is eric6_browser? it's a web browser 🦋 — but make it specific. its whole purpose is reading the HTML pages for the Qt API and the eric6 documentation. it can be launched from inside the eric6 IDE, or it can stand on its own as a standalone application. main character either way 💖.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

these programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, bestie — that means long options start with two dashes (-). a summary of options is included below, but for a complete description, go check the Info files. iykyk.

  • -h, --help — show a summary of the options. your lil cheat sheet 🫶
  • -v, --version — show the version of the program and then exit. boom, done, bye 👋
  • *--config=configDir* — use the given directory as the one containing the config files. that's where the configs live, bestie 🏠
  • --private — start the browser in private browsing mode. incognito era 🙈
  • --qthelp — start the browser with support for QtHelp. helpful AND fashionable ✨
  • *--search=word* — search for the given word 🔍
  • *--settings=settingsDir* — use the given directory to store the settings files. that's the settings storage spot 💜

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the whole eric6 friend group, fr fr. go say hi to:

(the original page lists them as eric6_unittest(1) eric6_webbrowser(1), — yes with the little comma hanging off the end. we don't gatekeep, we just report 💀)

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was written by Boyuan Yang <byang@debian.org> for the Debian project — but it may be used by others too, so share the love 🫶.

🌈 that's a wrap 🌈

and that's the page, bestie! this was ERIC6_BROWSER(1) from the General Commands Manual, dated October 06, 2018, and the source/version tag on the bottom is ERIC6_BROWSER(1) — so yeah, it's serving 2018 nostalgia with a 1 in the parentheses. slay, periodt. 💖✨🎀
