Description

GNU Midnight Commander                                  MCVIEW(1)



NAME
     mcview - Internal file viewer of GNU Midnight Commander.

USAGE
     mcview [-bcCdfhstVx?] file

DESCRIPTION
     mcview is a link to mc, the main GNU Midnight Commander exe-
     cutable.  Executing GNU Midnight Commander under  this  name
     requests  staring  the  internal viewer and opening the file
     specified on the command line.

OPTIONS
     -b   Force black and white display.

     -c   Force color mode on terminals where mcview defaults  to
          black and white.

     -C <keyword>=<fgcolor>,<bgcolor>,<attributes>:<keyword>= ...
          Specify a different color set.  See the Colors  section
          in mc(1) for more information.

     -d   Disable mouse support.

     -f   Display  the compiled-in search paths for Midnight Com-
          mander files.

     -t   Used only if the code was compiled with S-Lang and ter-
          minfo: it makes the Midnight Commander use the value of
          the  TERMCAP  variable  for  the  terminal  information
          instead  of the information on the system wide terminal
          database

     -V   Displays the version of the program.

     -x   Forces xterm mode.  Used when running on  xterm-capable
          terminals  (two  screen  modes,  and able to send mouse
          escape sequences).

COLORS
     The default colors  may  be  changed  by  appending  to  the
     MC_COLOR_TABLE  environment  variable.  Foreground and back-
     ground colors pairs may be specified for example with:

     MC_COLOR_TABLE="$MC_COLOR_TABLE:\
     normal=lightgray,black:\
     selected=black,green"

FILES
     /usr/share/mc/mc.hlp
