lynx: Open a link, using a specific file to read and write cookies.
$ lynx -cookie_file=${filename} ${example-com}
try on your machine
The command "lynx -cookie_file=${filename} ${example-com}" is using the Lynx text-based web browser to access a website with the specified cookie file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "lynx": It refers to the Lynx text-based web browser.
- "-cookie_file=${filename}": This option specifies the cookie file to be used. The variable "${filename}" should be replaced with the actual file path/name.
- "${example-com}": This should be replaced with the URL of the website you want to access.
By providing the cookie file, Lynx can retrieve and use any previously stored cookies for the specified website. This helps maintain your login sessions or personalized settings while interacting with the site.
