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.

              X display to use.

       --encoding

       +[num] For  the  first  file,  go  to  the  line specified by "num" (do not insert a space
              between the "+" sign and the number).  If "num" is missing, go to the last line.
