.TH MC 1 sbase\-VERSION
.SH NAME
mc \- multi-column
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mc
.RB [ \-c
.IR chars ]
.RI [ file ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B mc
reads each file in sequence and writes them to stdout,
in as many vertical columns as will fit in
.I chars
character columns.
If no file is given, mc reads from stdin.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-c " chars"
specifies the maximum number of character columns to use
(unless the input contains lines longer than
.I chars
characters).
.I chars
defaults to 65.
.SH BUGS
This implementation of
.B mc
assumes that every byte is a character
which takes up one column on the screen.
It does not handle non-ASCII UTF-8 runes
or TAB characters correctly.
.B mc
currently mangles files which contain embedded NULs.
.B mc
does not attempt to determine the width of its output device,
nor does it allow the user to set a default width in its environment.
