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 Comman‐
              der 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"
