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.
       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"

FILES

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

	      The default system-wide setup for	GNU Midnight  Commander,  used

	      Global  settings	for  Midnight Commander. Settings in this file
