.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.
