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 executable.
   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 Commander
          files.

   -t     Used only if the code was compiled with S-Lang and terminfo:  it
          makes  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 background 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

          The help file for the program.

   /usr/share/mc/mc.ini

          The default system-wide setup for GNU Midnight  Commander,  used
          only if the user's own ~/.config/mc/ini file is missing.

   /usr/share/mc/mc.lib

          Global  settings  for  Midnight Commander. Settings in this file
          affect all users, whether they have ~/.config/mc/ini or not.

   ~/.config/mc/ini

          User's own setup.  If this file is present, the setup is  loaded
          from here instead of the system-wide startup file.
