w3m: Open a URL.
$ w3m ${http:--example-com}
try on your machine

This command runs the web browser named w3m and opens a specified URL.

Specifically, the command is structured as follows:

${http:--example-com} is a placeholder for the URL. To use this command properly, you need to replace ${http:--example-com} with an actual URL. For instance, if you wanted to open the website "example.com" with w3m, you would replace ${http:--example-com} with http://example.com.

So, the full command becomes: w3m http://example.com.

Once executed, w3m will launch and attempt to visit the specified URL, displaying the website's content in the terminal or console interface.
