links Command Examples in Linux

by Deepika

links is a command-line web browser that allows users to browse the internet and view web pages directly from the terminal. It provides a text-based interface for browsing the web and supports basic web browsing functionality such as following links, displaying images, and filling out forms.

links is particularly useful for users who prefer a minimalist and lightweight approach to web browsing or who are working on a system with limited resources. It can also be useful for accessing the web in environments where a graphical user interface (GUI) is not available, such as in a terminal window or on a server.
