 ce [options]  [file] [file ...]
 "create edit"
 
 DESCRIPTION:
     'ce'  and 'cv' both create windows onto either the specified file
     or  standard input.  ce creates an editable window; cv creates  a
     read-only  window which may be toggled into edit mode.   Multiple
     file names may be specified.

     The  text that is displayed and the mode in which it is displayed
     are determined as follows:

        If  a  file is specified, standard input (if any) is  ignored
        unless the -stdin argument is used.

        If  no file is specified, standard input is read and displayed
        in  the  window in read-only mode, regardless of  whether  the
        given command was 'ce' or 'cv'.  If the given command was 'ce'
        and  you want to put the window into edit mode, you must first
        assign  a pathname to the file via the 'pn' command.  Standard
        input may be empty.

        If  no  file  is  specified and standard  input  points  to  a
        terminal, an error is flagged.

        If  no file is specified and a standardi input is a pipe, to a
        program,  display  commences  when a full window  of  data  is
        received.  Hitting CTL-b (go to bottom of file) would lock the
        window until the eof on the pipe is reached.  For a slow pipe,
        use the transpad option to avoid these restrictions.
        Ex:  tail -f /var/adm/messages | ce -transpad

   The  maximum  number  of  lines in a file acceptable  to  ce  is  about
   12,000,000.   (The  number may vary and is dependent on the  operations
   performed  internally  by  ce on its memory management  database.)  The
   maximum  allowable  line  length is 16384 bytes, including the  newline
   character.
    
   ce,  cv, and ceterm accept many options, most of which can also  be
   included in your .Xdefaults file.
