lu is a command line tool for listing URL shortcuts. It can parse the following formats:

• webloc (OSX)
• url (Linux)
• desktop (Windows)

Running lu for a file will extract the URL:

user$ lu example.webloc
https://example.com/

Running lu for a folder will process all contents of the folder:

user$ lu shortcuts/
https://foo.com/
https://bar.com/

Passing the -r switch will cause lu to recurse into sub-folders.
