lynx: Force color mode on, if available.
$ lynx -color ${example-com}
try on your machine

The command "lynx -color ${example-com}" is a command using the "lynx" text-based web browser with the specified options and argument.

  • "lynx" is a popular text-based web browser that allows users to browse the internet using only text-based interface in the terminal.
  • "-color" is an option for lynx that enables color display for the content being viewed in the browser. Without this option, the content would be displayed in a plain text format.
  • "${example-com}" is an argument provided to the lynx command. In this case, the argument is set as "${example-com}" which is likely a placeholder intended to be replaced with a specific domain or URL. This would open the specified webpage or website when the command is executed.

For example, if you replace "${example-com}" with "example.com", the command would be:

lynx -color example.com

Executing this command would open the "example.com" website in the lynx browser, and the content would be displayed with colors enabled.
