NAME

       Pluma - The MATE Text Editor

SYNOPSIS

       pluma [OPTIONS...] [FILES...]

DESCRIPTION

       Pluma is the official text editor of the MATE desktop environment. While aiming at simplicity and ease of
       use, Pluma is a powerful general purpose text editor. It can be used to create and edit all sorts of text
       files.

       Pluma  features  a  flexible  plugin system which can be used to dynamically add new advanced features to
       Pluma itself.

       This manual page briefly documents the pluma command.

OPTIONS

       filename(s)...
              Specifies the file to open when pluma starts. If this is not specified, pluma will  start  a  new,
              blank file with an "Unsaved Document" label. Multiple files can be loaded if they are separated by
              spaces. pluma also supports handling of remote files.

              and the number).  If "num" is missing, go to the last line.

              Display list of possible values for the encoding option and exit
