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"
