.SH NAME

nanorc \- GNU nano's rcfile
|

|

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
This manual page documents GNU \fBnano\fP's rcfile.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\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, \fBnano\fP also implements some
|
||
|
|
missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, such as "search and
|
||
|
|
replace" and "go to line number".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
The configuration file accepts a series of "set" and "unset" commands,
|
||
|
|
which can be used to configure nano on startup without using the
|
||
|
|
command-line options. Additionally, the "syntax" and "color" keywords
|
||
|
|
are used to define syntax highlighting rules for different text patterns.
|
||
|
|
GNU nano will read one command per line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options in rcfiles take precedence over nano's defaults, and command line
|
||
|
|
options override rcfile settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The supported commands and arguments are:
