SYNOPSIS

tb [URL]

PARAMETERS

URL
    The URL to open in the web browser. This is a mandatory argument. If no URL is provided, the command will usually do nothing or potentially display an error message, depending on the implementation.

DESCRIPTION

The `tb` command is a simple utility that opens a specified URL in a web browser. It attempts to determine the user's preferred browser and launch it with the given URL as an argument. It's often used within scripts or command-line workflows to quickly view web pages without needing to manually open a browser window and type in the address.

While the exact behavior of `tb` can vary slightly depending on the specific Linux distribution and its configured defaults, the core functionality remains the same: to provide a convenient way to launch a browser to a specific URL from the command line.

CAVEATS

The reliability of `tb` can depend on the system's configuration and the presence of a properly configured web browser. If no default browser is set, `tb` might fail to launch anything or produce an error. Also the command might not exist on all systems.

BROWSER SELECTION

The `tb` command typically relies on system configurations or environment variables (like BROWSER) to determine which web browser to use. If these configurations are not set properly, the command might not launch the intended browser or might fail altogether. You can check your BROWSER environment variable using the command echo $BROWSER in your terminal.

ERROR HANDLING

It's important to note that `tb` might not provide very detailed error messages if it encounters problems, such as an invalid URL or a missing browser. Therefore, careful attention to the URL syntax and the system's browser configuration is necessary for reliable usage.
