eFTE

NAME

efte − Text editor

SYNOPSIS

efte [[options] files ...]

vefte [[options] files ...]

nefte [[options] files ...]

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

This is list of variable which might change behavior of some internals of efte.
VIOFONT
