Links is a graphics and text mode WWW browser, similar to Lynx. It displays
tables, frames, downloads on background, uses HTTP/1.1 keepalive connections.
In graphics mode it displays PNG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, and XBM pictures, runs
external bindings on other types, and features anti-aliased font, smooth
image zooming, 48-bit dithering, and gamma and aspect ratio correction.
If you want links2 to work with svgalib you will have to setuid root
the binary using:
dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 4755 /usr/bin/links2
If you try to run it anyway, you will get the following error:
svgalib: Cannot get I/O permissions.
