.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page documents briefly the
|
|
.B nano
|
|
command.
|
|
.PP
|
|

.\" 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".
|

|
|
Nano will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file in some cases.
|
|
Mainly, this will happen if Nano recieves 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 finename. Nano will \fBnot\fP write this file if a previous one
|
|
exists in the current directory.
