.SH SYNOPSIS
.P
\fBphetch\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fIURL\fR]
.P
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
\fBphetch\fR is a terminal client designed to help you quickly navigate
the gophersphere. It features non-nonsense keyboard navigation,
support for most Gopher features, easy-to-use TLS and Tor support, as
well as bookmarking and history features.
.P
Usually \fBphetch\fR is started with a Gopher URL:
.P
.RS 4
phetch gopher://some-gopher-url.com
.P
.RE
If no URL is given, however, \fBphetch\fR will launch and open its default
"start page". This can be configured to be any URL. (See \fBCONFIG\fR.)
.P
.SH OPTIONS

.P

.P
.RE
\fB-o\fR, \fB--tor\fR

mode.

Use the up and down arrows, \fBj\fR and \fBk\fR keys, or \fBn\fR and \fBp\fR
keys to select links. \fBphetch\fR will scroll for you, or you can

.RE
Incremental search
.RS 4
Press \fBf\fR or \fB/\fR to activate search mode, then just start
typing. \fBphetch\fR will look for the first case-insensitive match
and try to select it. Use arrow keys or \fBCtrl-p\fR/\fBCtrl-n\fR to cycle
through matches.
.P

.RE

View saved bookmarks.
.P
.RE
The clipboard function uses \fBpbcopy\fR on MacOS, and \fBxsel\fR \fI-sel clip\fR
on Linux.
.P
.SH HISTORY
.P
If you create a \fIhistory.gph\fR file in \fI~/.config/phetch/\fR, each Gopher
URL you open will be stored there.
.P
New URLs are appended to the bottom, but loaded in reverse order, so
you'll see all the most recently visited pages first when you press
the \fBa\fR key.
.P
Feel free to edit your history file directly, or share it with your
friends!
.P
.SH CONFIG
.P
If you create a \fIphetch.conf\fR file in \fI~/.config/phetch/\fR, it will be
automatically loaded when \fBphetch\fR starts. The config file supports
most command line options, for your convenience, as well as a few ways
to customize your browsing experience. For example, \fBphetch\fR will
always launch in TLS mode if `tls yes` appears in the  config file --
no need to pass `--tls` or `-t` on startup.
.P
Here is an example config with all options:
.P
.nf
.RS 4
# Page to load when launched with no URL argument\&.
start gopher://phetch/1/home

# Always use TLS mode\&. (--tls)
tls no

# Connect using local TOR proxy\&. (--tor)
tor no

# Always start in wide mode\&.
wide no

# Program to use to open media files\&.
media mpv

# Use emoji indicators for TLS & Tor\&.
emoji no
.fi

.SH MEDIA PLAYER SUPPORT
.P
\fBphetch\fR includes support for opening video files (`;` item type) and
sound files (`s` item type) in `mpv` or an application of your choice
using the `-m` command line flag. To test it out, visit a compatible
Gopher server or check out the "gopher types" help page by lauching
\fBphetch\fR and then pressing `ctrl-h` then `3`.
