<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 "go to line number".

<H2>INITIALIZATION FILE</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>nano</B> will read initialization files in the following
|
|
order: $SYSCONFDIR/nanorc, then ~/.nanorc. Please see <A HREF="http://localhost/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+nanorc">nanorc</A>(5) and
|
|
the example file <B>nanorc.sample</B> which should be provided with
|
|
<B>nano</B>.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<A NAME="lbAG"> </A>
|
|
<H2>NOTES</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>nano</B> will try to dump the buffer into an emergency file in some
|
|
cases. Mainly, this will happen if <B>nano</B> receives a SIGHUP or
|
|
SIGTERM 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. If an emergency file with that
|
|
name already exists in the current directory, ".save" and a number (e.g.
|
|
".save.1") will be suffixed to the current filename in order to make it
|
|
unique. In multibuffer mode, <B>nano</B> will write all the open buffers
|
|
to the respective emergency files.
