lynx: Visit a website.
$ lynx ${example-com}
try on your machine

The command lynx ${example-com} launches the Lynx web browser with the specified URL, in this case, ${example-com}. Note that ${example-com} is likely meant to be a placeholder and should be replaced with a specific URL.

Lynx is a text-based web browser commonly used in command-line interfaces. It allows users to browse and navigate websites using only text, without any graphical interface. By providing a specific URL after the lynx command, Lynx will connect to that website and display its content in the terminal.

For example, if you want to browse the website "example.com" using Lynx, you would replace ${example-com} with example.com, resulting in the command lynx example.com. This would launch Lynx and open the "example.com" website in text format for browsing and reading.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
