BVI

Command Line Options


-aASCII mode
-cClear before displaying. Redrawing the screen instead of scrolling. Can be useful, if you change the number of displayed lines.
-dDisplay error messages rather than ringing the terminal bell if an unrecognized command is used. This is helpful for inexperienced users.
-iIgnore case for searching.
-n lines Displays the indicated number of lines in each screenful, rather than the default (the number of lines in the terminal screen less two).
-r Characters between 160 - 254 are displayed as "reverse video text" as used in some legacy systems (Atari, Commodore, Apple II, etc).
-w cols Display number of cols (bytes of data) in each line.
+linenumber Start up at linenumber
+/ASCII-pattern Start up at the line containing the regular expression ASCII-pattern
+\HEX-pattern Start up at the line containing the regular expression HEX-pattern

This is the default display:
