NAME¶

openfile - open a file with xdg-open in a external program

SYNOPSIS¶

openfile file

DESCRIPTION¶

openfile helps open a file with xdg-open from mutt/neomutt in a external program without weird side effects.

It aims to be as simple and functional as possible for the user to associate a file extension with the program that will open it.

It is not necessary to configure a specific program for each extension in mutt/neomutt, because this association will come from your environment settings, controlled by xdg-open.

This program ends up not being exclusive to mutt/neomutt, it can be used by command line in a terminal by the user to open any file in its respective default program, just by using the command as described in the Synopsis field.
