I can't believe I've waited this long to create this stupid shell function:

```
rfc() {
local rfc="rfc${1##rfc}";
curl -s "https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/${rfc}.txt" | ${PAGER:-more}
}
```

@jschauma Mine also opens the index if you say `rfc index`.

(I also have them local via the rsync download which I suppose is less important than it was ten years ago.)

@partim Yeah, I started out with a local copy of all RFCs as well.

For others stumbling on this thread:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/retrieve/rsync/

E.g., from cron:
0 0 1 * * rsync -az --include '*.txt' --exclude '*' rsync.rfc-editor.org::rfcs-text-only /usr/local/share/rfcs/.

@jschauma @partim now I’m wondering if I should just dump them all in Zotero for reference.
