br

The command line tool 'br' stands for 'browse' and is used for opening files and directories from the command line in a text-based browser. It is commonly used on Unix-based systems, including Linux and macOS. The 'br' command is typically followed by the name of a file or directory that you wish to open and view. By default, 'br' opens the content in the text-based browser which allows you to navigate and view files and directories in a text-based format. You can navigate within the opened file or directory using keyboard commands such as arrow keys or page up/down. The 'br' tool supports viewing different file types, including plain text, HTML, and even compressed archives like ZIP or GZIP files. It does not support interactive online browsing and only displays static content. Additionally, 'br' does not have editing capabilities, so it cannot modify the content of files or directories. The tool provides a lightweight and efficient way to quickly view and browse files without the need for a graphical user interface. Overall, 'br' is a simple and convenient command line tool for text-based browsing of files and directories.
