to care about them.

-help Print a help screen

-version
Prints the links version number and exit.

-lookup <hostname>
Does name lookup, like command "host".

-g Run Links2 in graphics mode. If not given, Links2 will run in text mode. Running
in graphics mode means that Links2 will probe all compiled‐in graphics devices and

option works only if ‐‐enable‐graphics was given to ./configure.

(where depth is 16, 256, 32K, 64K, 16M or 16M32) and defines the graphics mode, on
X the format is WIDTHxHEIGHT and defines the window size.
