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 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 background colors pairs may be specified
for example with:
MC_COLOR_TABLE="$MC_COLOR_TABLE:\
normal=lightgray,black:\
selected=black,green"
