NAME

6       mcview - Internal file viewer of GNU Midnight Commander.
7

USAGE

9       mcview [-bcCdfhstVx?] file
10

DESCRIPTION

12       mcview  is  a  link  to mc, the main GNU Midnight Commander executable.
13       Executing GNU Midnight Commander under this name requests  staring  the
14       internal viewer and opening the file specified on the command line.
15

OPTIONS

17       -b     Force black and white display.
18
19       -c     Force color mode on terminals where mcview defaults to black and
20              white.
21
22       -C <keyword>=<fgcolor>,<bgcolor>,<attributes>:<keyword>= ...
23              Specify a different color set.  See the Colors section in  mc(1)
24              for more information.
25
26       -d     Disable mouse support.
27
28       -f     Display  the  compiled-in  search  paths  for Midnight Commander
29              files.
30
31       -t     Used only if the code was compiled with S-Lang and terminfo:  it
32              makes  Midnight  Commander use the value of the TERMCAP variable
33              for the terminal information instead of the information  on  the
34              system wide terminal database
35
36       -V     Displays the version of the program.
37
38       -x     Forces xterm mode.  Used when running on xterm-capable terminals
39              (two screen modes, and able to send mouse escape sequences).

COLORS

42       The default colors may be changed by appending  to  the  MC_COLOR_TABLE
43       environment  variable.   Foreground  and background colors pairs may be
44       specified for example with:
45
46       MC_COLOR_TABLE="$MC_COLOR_TABLE:\
47       normal=lightgray,black:\
48       selected=black,green"
