MCVIEW(1)		    GNU Midnight Commander		     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>:<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 vari‐
	      able 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 ~/.mc/ini file is missing.

       /usr/share/mc/mc.lib

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

       $HOME/.mc/ini

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