| <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2> |
| |
| This manual page documents briefly the |
| <B>nano</B> |
| |
| command. |
| <P> |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| <B>nano</B> is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace |
| Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. Rather |
| than just copying Pico's look and feel, |
| <B>nano</B> |
| |
| also implements some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, |
| such as "search and replace" and "goto line number". |
| <A NAME="lbAE"> </A> |
| <H2>OPTIONS</H2> |
| |
| <DL COMPACT> |

| <DT><B>-T (--tabsize)</B> |
| |
| <DD> |
| Set the size (width) of a tab. |
| <DT><B>-R (--regexp)</B> |

| \n subexpression replacement for replace strings, if available. |
| <DT><B>-V (--version)</B> |

| |
| <DD> |

| Indent new lines to the previous line's indentation. Useful when editing |
| source code. |
| <DT><B>-k (--cut)</B> |
| |
| <DD> |
| Enable cut from cursor to end of line with ^K. |
| <DT><B>-l (--nofollow)</B> |
| |
| <DD> |
| If the file being edited is a symbolic link, replace the link with a |
| a new file, do not follow it. Good for editing files in /tmp, perhaps? |

| <DD> |
| Wrap lines at column #cols. By default, this is the width of the screen, |

| </DL> |
| <A NAME="lbAF"> </A> |
| <H2>NOTES</H2> |
| |
| Nano will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file in some cases. |
| Mainly, this will happen if Nano receives a SIGHUP or runs out of |
| memory, when it will write the buffer into a file named "nano.save" if the |
| buffer didn't have a name already, or will add a ".save" suffix to the |
| current filename. Nano will <B>not</B> write this file if a previous one |
| exists in the current directory. |
