.SH NAME
nano \- Nano's ANOther editor, an enhanced free Pico Clone
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B nano
.RI [options]\ [+LINE] " file"
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B nano
command.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invoke bold face and italics,
.\" respectively.
\fBnano\fP 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
also implements some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico,
such as "search and replace" and "goto line number".
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-D (\-\-dos)
Write file in DOS format.
.TP
.B \-F (\-\-multibuffer)
Enable multiple file buffers (if available).
.TP
.B \-K (\-\-keypad)
Do not use the ncurses keypad() call unless necessary. Try this flag if
you find that the arrow keys on the numeric keypad do not work for you
under nano.
.TP
.B \-M (\-\-mac)
Write file in Mac format.
.TP
.B \-R (\-\-regexp)
Enable regular expression matching for search strings, as well as
\\n subexpression replacement for replace strings, if available.
.TP
.B \-S (\-\-smooth)
Enable smooth scrolling. Text will scroll line-by-line, instead of the
usual chunk-by-chunk behaviour.
.TP
.B \-T [num] (\-\-tabsize=[num])
Set the size (width) of a tab.
.TP
.B \-V (\-\-version)
Show the current version number and author.
.TP
.B \-c (\-\-const)
Constantly show the cursor position.
.TP
.B \-h (\-\-help)
Display a summary of command line options.
.TP
.B \-i (\-\-autoindent)
Indent new lines to the previous line's indentation. Useful when editing
source code.
.TP
.B \-k (\-\-cut)
Enable cut from cursor to end of line with ^K.
.TP
.B \-l (\-\-nofollow)
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?
.TP
.B \-m (\-\-mouse)
Enable mouse support (if available for your system).
.TP
.B \-o [dir] (\-\-operatingdir=[dir])
Set operating directory. Makes nano set up something similar to a chroot.
.TP
.B \-p (\-\-pico)
Emulate Pico as closely as possible. This affects both the "shortcut list"
at the bottom of the screen, as well as the display and entry of previous
search and replace strings.
.TP
.B \-r [#cols] (\-\-fill=[#cols])
Wrap lines at column #cols. By default, this is the width of the screen,
less eight. If this value is negative, wrapping will occur at #cols from
the right of the screen, allowing it to vary along with the screen width
if the screen is resized.
.TP
.B \-s [prog] (\-\-speller=[prog])
Enable alternative spell checker command.
.TP
.B \-t (\-\-tempfile)
Always save changed buffer without prompting. Same as Pico -t option.
.TP
.B \-v (\-\-view)
View file (read only) mode.
.TP
.B \-w (\-\-nowrap)
Disable wrapping of long lines.
.TP
.B \-x (\-\-nohelp)
Disable help screen at bottom of editor.
.TP
.B \-z (\-\-suspend)
Enable suspend ability.
.TP
.B \-a, \-b, \-e, \-f, \-g, \-j
Ignored, for compatibility with Pico.
.TP
.B \+LINE
Places cursor at LINE on startup.
.SH NOTES
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. In multibuffer mode, nano will write all the open buffers to
the respective emergency files. Nano will \fBnot\fP write this file if a
previous one exists in the current directory.
