SYNOPSIS

       surf   [-bBdDfFgGiIkKmMnNpPsStTvwxX]  [-a cookiepolicies]  [-c cookiefile]  [-C stylefile]
       [-e xid] [-r scriptfile] [-u useragent] [-z zoomlevel] [URI]

DESCRIPTION

       surf is a simple Web browser based on WebKit/GTK+. It is  able  to  display  websites  and
       follow  links.  It  supports  the  XEmbed  protocol which makes it possible to embed it in
       another application. Furthermore, one can  point  surf  to  another  URI  by  setting  its
       XProperties.

OPTIONS

       -a cookiepolicies
              Define  the  order of cookie policies.  The default is "@Aa" but could be redefined
              in the config.h, with "A" meaning to accept all cookies, "a" to  deny  all  cookies
              and "@", which tells surf to accept no third party cookies.

       -b     Disable Scrollbars.

       -B     Enable Scrollbars.

       -c cookiefile
              Specify the cookiefile to use.

       -C stylefile

       -u useragent
              Specify the useragent which surf should use.

       -v     Prints version information to standard output, then exits.

       -w     Prints  xid  to  standard  output.  This  can  be used to script the browser in for
              example xdotool(1).
