NAME

efte - Text editor

SYNOPSIS

efte [[options] files ...]

vefte [[options] files ...]

nefte [[options] files ...]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the efte .

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in html format; see below.

efte is a powerful text editor which closely resembles Borlands programming editors for M$-DOS, but is far more flexible and configurable.

OPTIONS

efte uses a command line syntax, which is a little bit different from most of Debian GNU/Linux apps.
-h -? --help

Help on command line options.

Ignore any external configuration file and use internal configuration.

-l <line>[,<column>]

Go to line (and column) in next file on command line.

-# <line>[<,column>]

Same as -l . Do not use this option.

-m [<mode>]

Set mode for next files to <mode>. If just plain -m , then use default mode.

-C [<.cnf>]

Use specified configuration file (compiled). Plain -C does the same as -! .

-D [<.dsk>]

Load/save desktop from file <.dsk>. If no argument, disable desktop load/save.

-H [<.his>]

Load/save history from file <.his>. If no argument, disable history load/save.

-T <tagfile>

Load ’tagfile’ at startup.

-t <tag>

Lookup tag ’tag’ and display file containing it.

	--		The rest of the arguments are not options, but filenames.
	-+		The next argument is not an option even if starting with a ’-’. Useful when loading files that begin with a -.
	-noxmb		Do not use XMB functions in xefte - useful if you have incorrect locales and you want to use just english fonts.
	-font		Select XWindow font to use with xefte . See VIOFONT also.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

This is list of variable which might change behavior of some internals of efte .
VIOFONT - select font used by xefte
ISOCONSOLE - when set, vefte is usign ascii symbols to draw tables.
This is useful when iso latin charset is used on console.
