The original goal for @code{nano} was a complete bug-for-bug compatible
emulation of Pico, but @code{nano}'s main goal is to be as compatible as
possible while offering a superset of Pico's functionality. See
emulation of Pico, but @code{nano}'s current goal is to be as compatible
as possible while offering a superset of Pico's functionality. See
@xref{Pico Compatibility}, for more info.
The usual way to invoke @code{nano} is:
@quotation
@code{nano [OPTION]@dots{} [FILE]}
@end quotation
But it is also possible to edit several files in a row. Additionally,
the cursor can be put on a desired line number by adding this number
with a plus sign before any file name, and even in a desired column
by adding it with a comma. So the complete synopsis is:
@quotation
@code{nano [OPTION]@dots{} [[+LINE] [FILE]]@dots{}}
@code{nano [OPTION]@dots{} [[+LINE,COLUMN] [FILE]]@dots{}}
@end quotation
