NAME

       gopherrc - configuration file for gopher(1)

DESCRIPTION

       The  gopherrc file contains a list of directives that alter the behaviour of the gopher(1) client.  It is
       composed of lines of the form:

              Token: Value

       Tokens are case insensitive and the value field will change, depending on the token.  A pound sign  ("#")
       at the beginning of a line signifies a comment line.

       Gopherrc  files are used in a number of places.  There is a global gopherrc file (called gopherrc).  This
       is usually placed in a systemwide directory.  A file with the same format called remotegopher.rc is  also
       used by the gopher client when using the -r switch.

       Also,  an  individual  has  their own customized version of this file in their home directory in the file
       .gopherrc. On VMS this file is called GOPHERRC.

       All of these files use the format described below.

       Most people will set the values in this file by pressing the 'O' key to set options in the curses  gopher
       client,  rather than editing this file directly.  People considering editing this file on VMS should make
       sure their editor preserves the Stream_LF format of the file.

       Quick pseudo grammar

              map: <content type>,<display command>,<print command>
              SearchBolding: <yes|no>
              Bookmarks:
              <bookmarks>

       The following tokens are recognized

       map:

       maps a content type (such as text/plain, or image/gif) to commands to execute for displaying the document
       or printing the document, i.e.

       The content type, display command, and printing command are separated by commas.

       The  sequence  of  %s  is  replaced  with  the filename of a temporary file containing the document to be
       printed or viewed.

       If the command starts with the vertical bar (|) the command will be executed immediately and the document
       will be sent to the commands standard input.  Note this feature does not work on VMS.

       If  the  display  command  is set to 'builtin', then the text file pager inside the gopher client will be
       used to display the item.

       SearchBolding:

       controls the clients display of search terms.  If the value is 'yes', then search words will  be  bolded.
       Otherwise they'll be left alone.

       Bookmarks:

       The  bookmarks  in  .link format follow.  For more information on the format of a .link file, consult the
       gopherd(8) manual page.

       Sample gopherrc file:

        map: text/plain,builtin,lpr %s
        map: image/gif,xv %s,
        Bookmarks:
        Type=1
        Name=Bookmark #1
        Host=gopher.tc.umn.edu
        Port=70
        Path=
        #
        Type=0+
        Name=textfile
        Host=foo.com
        Path=0/readme
