NAME
       Webbrowser - run the best available browser on this system

SYNOPSIS
       webbrowser [-h|--help]
       webbrowser [-b|--browsers 'browser list'] [arguments to browser]

DESCRIPTION
       Webbrowser  is  a  shell	 script that attempts to find and run the best
       available browser from a list, which may be specified  on  the  command
       line, via the environment, or from a built in default list.

       Webbrowser is intended for use from applications that use HTML or other
       browser-based documentation, but cannot depend on  a  specific  browser
       being installed.

       A browser list specified on the command line overrides other lists.  If
       no list is specified on the command line, webbrowser checks  the	 envi‐
       ronment	variable  BESTBROWSERS.	 If this variable does not exist, web‐
       browser falls back to a built-in default list.

       Additional arguments are passed onto whichever browser is invoked.   It
       is  the user's (or calling application's) responsibility to ensure that
       the arguments are appropriate for any browser that might be selected.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	      Display a brief usage synopsis.

       -b, --browsers 'list'
	      Select from 'list' instead of the default list.  The  list  must
	      be quoted in order to separate it from 'arguments'.

ENVIRONMENT
       $BESTBROWSERS
