MCVIEW(1)		     GNU Midnight Commander		       MCVIEW(1)

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.  Exe-
     cuting 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  envi-
     ronment  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/local/share/mc/help/mc.hlp

     /usr/local/share/mc/mc.ini
