Package "mc"


Midnight Commander

The Midnight Commander is a Norton Commander clone; a program that manipulates and manages files and directories. It is useful, fast, and has color displays on the Linux console. It also has mouse support if you run the "gpm" mouse server. This program requires the terminal description files in /usr/lib/terminfo, which are found in ncurses.tgz or terminfo.tgz.

You can also use the Midnight Commander under X with your mouse. If you enter "mc -c", colors will be used.

Under the Midnight Commander, the screen is divided into four sections, whereby the majority of the screen is covered by two directory panels. The second to last line on the screen is the shell command line; the last line displays the function key assignments. At the very top, the menu list is shown. One of the directories displayed is the current working directory. This is where most of the commands are found. For certain commands, like copy and move, the second directory is used as the target directory.
