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"
