NAME

mcview - Internal file viewer of GNU Midnight Commander.

SYNOPSIS

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"
