ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.8) _______________________________________________________________________________ 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.
