A terminal-based interface for reading IETF RFCs (Request for Comments), enabling you to fetch, cache, and browse them with ease.
- View documents directly in the terminal
- Automatic caching of the documents for offline reading
- Text search functionality within document
- Table of contents navigation
Note
Table of contents section might not always be accurate, as there's no standard way to extract it from RFCs. It works best with RFCs that have a well-defined TOC.
- Keyboard controls

--offline,-o: Run in offline mode (only load cached RFCs)--clear-cache: Clear the RFC cache

RFCs are cached locally to improve performance and enable offline reading.
