efte − Text editor
efte [[options] files ...]
vefte [[options] files ...]
nefte [[options] files ...]
This manual page documents briefly the efte.
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in html format; see below.
efte is a powerful text editor which closely resembles Borlands programming editors for M$−DOS, but is far more flexible and configurable.
efte uses a command line syntax, which is a little bit different from most of Debian GNU/Linux apps.
−h −? −-help
Help on command line options.
−! |
Ignore any external configuration file and use internal configuration. |
−l<line>[,<column>]
Go to line (and column) in next file on command line.
−#<line>[<,column>]
Same as -l. Do not use this option.
−m[<mode>]
Set mode for next files to <mode>. If just plain −m, then use default mode.
−C[<.cnf>]
Use specified configuration file (compiled). Plain −C does the same as −!.
−D[<.dsk>]
Load/save desktop from file <.dsk>. If no argument, disable desktop load/save.
−H[<.his>]
Load/save history from file <.his>. If no argument, disable history load/save.
−T<tagfile>
Load ’tagfile’ at startup.
−t<tag>
Lookup tag ’tag’ and display file containing it.
−− |
The rest of the arguments are not options, but filenames. |
||
−+ |
The next argument is not an option even if starting with a ’-’. Useful when loading files that begin with a -. |
||
−noxmb |
Do not use XMB functions in xefte - useful if you have incorrect locales and you want to use just english fonts. |
||
−font |
Select XWindow font to use with xefte. See VIOFONT also. |
This is list of variable which might change behavior of some internals of efte.
VIOFONT − select font used by xefte
ISOCONSOLE − when set, vefte is usign ascii symbols to draw tables.
This is useful when iso latin charset is used on console.
efte −mBIN /usr/bin/vefte
load /usr/bin/vefte in BIN mode
efte −mBIN −+ −bla−
load file -bla- in BIN mode
efte −l100,30 win.c

efte window.cpp
load file window.cpp
efte −− −1 −2 −3 −4 −5 −6

efte −D −H efte.dsk efte.his
