NAME
       vifm - vi file manager

SYNOPSIS
       vifm [OPTION]...
       vifm [OPTION]... LWIN_DIR
       vifm [OPTION]... LWIN_DIR RWIN_DIR

DESCRIPTION
       Vifm  is  a ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings. If you
       use vi, vifm gives you complete keyboard control over your files  with‐
       out having to learn a new set of commands.

OPTIONS
       The  vifm executable will start vifm in the current directory unless it
       is given a different directory on the command line.

       <lwinpath>
	      Starts Vifm in the specified path.

       <lwinpath> <rwinpath>
	      Starts Vifm in the specified paths.

       Specifying two directories triggers split view even when  vifm  was  in
       single-view  mode  on finishing previous session.  To suppress this be‐
       haviour :only command can be put in the vifmrc file.

       When only one path argument is found on command-line, the left/top pane
       is automatically set as the current view.

       Paths  to  files  are  also allowed in case you want vifm to start with
       some archive opened.  If you want to select file, prepend its path with
       --select.

       -f     only  used  from	the  vifm.vim  script.	The selected files are
	      written to $VIFM/vimfiles and vifm exits.

       --logging
	      Log some errors to  $VIFM/log.   Also  /var/log/vifm-startup-log
	      (on  *nix)  and  startup-log  in the directory of executable (on
	      Windows) is used to  log	startup  process  (when  configuration
	      directory isn't determined).

       --remote
	      Sends the rest of command line to the active vifm server (one of
	      already running instances if any).  When	there  is  no  server,
	      quits  silently.	There is no limit on how many arguments can be
	      processed.  One can combine --remote with -c <command> or +<com‐
	      mand>  to  execute  command in already running instance of vifm.
	      See also "Client-Server" section below.

       -c <command> or +<command>
	      Run command-line mode <command> on startup.   Commands  in  such
	      arguments are executed in the order they appear in command line.
	      Commands with spaces or special symbols must be enclosed in dou‐
	      ble  or  single  quotes or all special symbols should be escaped
	      (the exact syntax strongly depends on shell).

       --help, -h
	      Show an overview of the commandline options.

       --version, -v
	      Show version information and quit.

       --no-configs
	      Don't read vifmrc and vifminfo.


       See Startup section below for the explanations on $VIFM.

General keys
       Ctrl-C or Escape
	      cancel most operations (see "Cancellation" section below), clear
	      all selected files.

       Ctrl-L clear and redraw the screen.

Basic Movement
       The  basic vi key bindings are used to move through the files and popup
       windows.

       k, gk, or Ctrl-P
	      moves cursor up one line.

       j, gj or Ctrl-N
	      moves cursor down one line.

       h      when 'lsview' is off moves up  one  directory,  otherwise  moves
	      left one file.

       l      when  'lsview' is off moves into a directory or launches a file,
	      otherwise moves left one file.

       gg     move to the top of the file list.

       gh     moves up one directory.

       gl or Enter
	      moves into a directory or launches a file.

       G      move to the bottom of the file list.

       H      move to the first file in the window.

       M      move to the file in the middle of the window.

       L      move to the last file in the window.

       Ctrl-F or Page Down
	      move forward one page.

       Ctrl-B or Page Up
	      move back one page.

       Ctrl-D jump back one half page.

       Ctrl-U jump forward one half page.

       n%     move to the file that is n percent from the top of the list (for
	      example 25%).

       0 or ^ move  cursor  to the first column.  See 'lsview' option descrip‐
	      tion.

       $      move cursor to the last column.  See  'lsview'  option  descrip‐
	      tion.

       Space Bar
	      toggles between the two file lists.

Movement with Count
       Most  movement  commands  also  accept  a count, 12j would move down 12
       files.

       [count]%
	      move to percent of the file list.

       [count]j

	      decrease size of the view by count1*count2..

       [count1]Ctrl-W[count2]<
	      increase size of the view by count1*count2..

       [count1]Ctrl-W[count2]>
	      decrease size of the view by count1*count2..

       Ctrl-W |
	      maximize current view.

       Ctrl-W _
	      maximize current view.

       Ctrl-W =
	      make size of two views equal.

Marks
       Marks are set the same way as they are in vi.

       You can use this characters for marks [a-z][A-Z][0-9].

       m[a-z][A-Z][0-9]
	      to set a mark for the file at the current cursor position.

       '[a-z][A-Z][0-9]
	      moves to the file set for the mark.


       There are also several special marks that can't be set manually:

       - ´ (single quote) - previously visited directory  of  the  view,  thus
	 hitting ´' allows switching between two last locations

       - < - the first file of the last visually selected block

       - > - the last file of the last visually selected block

Searching
       /regular expression pattern[Return]
	      search  for  files matching regular expression in forward direc‐
	      tion and advance cursor to next match.

       /[Return]
	      perform forward search with top item of search pattern history.

       ?regular expression pattern[Return]
	      search for files matching regular expression in backward	direc‐
	      tion and advance cursor to previous match.

       ?[Return]
	      perform backward search with top item of search pattern history.

       Matches	are  automatically  selected  if  'hlsearch' is set.  Enabling
       'incsearch' makes search  interactive.	'ignorecase'  and  'smartcase'
       options affect case sensitivity of search queries.


       [count]n
	      find the next match of / or ?.

       [count]N
	      find the previous match of / or ?.

       If  'hlsearch'  option  is set, hitting n/N to perform search and go to
       the first matching item resets current selection in normal mode.  It is
       not the case if search was already performed on files in the directory,
       thus selection is not reset after clearing selection  with  escape  key
       and hitting n/N key again.


       [count]f[character]
	      search  forward  for file with [character] as first character in
	      name.  Search wraps around the end of the list.

       [count]F[character]
	      search backward for file with [character] as first character  in
	      name.  Search wraps around the end of the list.

       [count];
	      find the next match of f or F.

       [count],
	      find the previous match of f or F.

       Note:  f,  F,  ; and , wrap around list beginning and end when they are
       used alone and they don't wrap when they are used as selectors.

File Filters
       There are three basic file filters:

       - dot files filter (excluding "." and ".." special  directories,  which
	 appearance is controlled by the 'dotdirs' option)

       - manual filter for file names

       - automatic filter for file names

       - local	filter	for file names (see description of the "=" normal mode
	 command)

       Performing operations on manual filter  for  file  names  automatically
       does  the  same	on  automatic  one.  The file name filter is separated
       mainly for convenience purpose and to get more deterministic behaviour.

       The basic vim folding key bindings are used for filtering files.

       Each file list has its own copy of each filter.

       Filtered files are not checked in / search or :commands.

       Files and directories are filtered separately.  For  this  a  slash  is
       appended to a directory name before testing whether it matches the fil‐
       ter.  Examples:

	 " filter directories which names end with '.files'
	 :filter /^.*\.files\/$/

	 " filter files which names end with '.d'
	 :filter /^.*\.d$/

	 " filter files and directories which names end with '.o'
	 :filter /^.*\.o\/?$/

       zo     Show all of the dot files.

       zf     Filter all of the selected files.

       za     Toggle the showing and hiding of dot files.

       zm     Filter all of the dot files.

       zO     Show the files filtered out by filename filter.

       zM     Filter the files matching the filename filter.

       zR     Remove all filters.

       =regular expression pattern[Return]
	      filter out files that don't match regular  expression.   Whether
	      view  is updated as regular expression is changed depends on the
	      value of the 'incsearch' option.	This kind of filter  is  auto‐
	      matically reset when directory is changed.

Other Normal Mode Keys
       [count]:
	      enter command line mode.	Count will add range.

       q:     open  external  editor  to prompt for command-line command.  See
	      "Command line editing" section for details.

       q/     open external editor to prompt for search pattern to be searched
	      in  forward  direction.	See "Command line editing" section for
	      details.

       q?     open external editor to prompt for search pattern to be searched
	      in  backward  direction.	See "Command line editing" section for
	      details.

       q=     open external editor to prompt for filter pattern.  See "Command
	      line  editing"  section for details.  Unlike other q{x} commands
	      this one doesn't work in Visual mode.

       [count]!! and [count]!<selector>
	      enter command line mode with entered ! command.  Count will mod‐
	      ify range.

       Ctrl-O go backward through directory history of current view.  Nonexis‐
	      tent directories are automatically skipped.

       Ctrl-I if 'cpoptions' contains "t" flag, <tab> and <c-i> switch	active
	      pane  just  like <space> does, otherwise it goes forward through
	      directory history of current view.  Nonexistent directories  are
	      automatically skipped.

       Ctrl-G creates  a window showing detailed information about the current
	      file.

       Shift-Tab
	      enters view mode (works only after  activating  view  pane  with
	      :view command).

       ga     calculate directory size.  Uses cached directory sizes when pos‐
	      sible for better performance.

       gA     like ga, but force update.   Ignores  old  values  of  directory
	      sizes.

       If file under cursor is selected, each selected item is processed, oth‐
       erwise only current file is updated.

       gf     find link destination (like l with 'followlinks' off,  but  also
	      finds directories).

       gr     only for MS-Windows
	      same  as	l  key,  but  tries to run program with administrative
	      privileges.

       av     go to visual mode into selection amending state preserving  cur‐
	      rent selection.

       gv     go to visual mode restoring last selection.

       gs     restore last t selection, like gv for visual mode selection.

       gu<selector>
	      make names of selected files lowercase.

       [count]guu and [count]gugu
	      make names of [count] files starting from the current one lower‐
	      case.  Without [count] only current file is affected.

       gU<selector>
	      make names of selected files uppercase.

       [count]gUU and [count]gUgU
	      make names of [count] files starting from the current one upper‐
	      case.  Without [count] only current file is affected.

       e      explore file in the current pane.

       i      opens file with associated program even if it's an executable.

       cw     rename a file or files.

       cW     change only name of file (without extension).

       cl     change link target.

       co     only for *nix
	      change file owner.

       cg     only for *nix
	      change file group.

       cp     change  file  attributes	(permission  on *nix and properties on
	      Windows).

       [count]C
	      clone file [count] times.

       [count]dd or d[count]selector
	      moves the selected files to trash directory (if  'trash'	option
	      is set, otherwise delete).  See "Trash directory" section below.

       [count]DD or D[count]selector
	      removes the selected files.

       Y, [count]yy or y[count]selector
	      yanks the selected files.

       Y      same as yy.

       p      will  copy the yanked files to the current directory or move the
	      files to the current directory if they were deleted with	dd  or
	      :d[elete] or if the files were yanked from trash directory.  See
	      "Trash directory" section below.

       P      moves the last yanked files.  The advantage of using  P  instead
	      of  d followed by p is that P moves files only once.  This isn't
	      important in case you're moving files in the  same  file	system
	      where  your home directory is, but using P to move files on some
	      other file system (or file systems, in case  you	want  to  move
	      files  from  fs1	to  fs2 and your home is on fs3) can save your
	      time.

       al     puts symbolic links with absolute paths.

       rl     puts symbolic links with relative paths.

       t      select or unselect (tag) the current file.

       u      undo last change.

       Ctrl-R redo last change.

       v, V   enter visual mode, clears current selection.

       [count]Ctrl-A
	      increment first number in file name by count (1 by default).

       [count]Ctrl-X
	      decrement first number in file name by count (1 by default).

       ZQ     same as :quit!

       ZZ     same as :quit

       .      repeat last command line command (not normal  mode  command)  of
	      this  session (does nothing right after startup or :restart com‐
	      mand).  The command doesn't depend on command-line  history  and
	      can be used with completely disabled history.

       (      goto previous group.  Groups are defined by primary sorting key.
	      For name and iname members of each group have same first letter,
	      for all other sorting keys vifm uses size, uid, ...

       )      goto next group.	See ( key description above.

Using Count
       You can use count with commands like yy.

       [count]yy
	      yank count files starting from current cursor position downward.

       Or you can use count with motions passed to y, d or D.

       d[count]j
	      delete  (count  + 1) files starting from current cursor position
	      upward.

Registers
       vifm supports multiple registers for temporary storing list  of	yanked
       or deleted files.

       Registers should be specified with hitting double quite key followed by
       a register name.  Count is specified after register name.   By  default
       commands use unnamed register, which has double quote as its name.

       Though  all  commands  accept  registers, most of commands ignores them
       (for example H or Ctrl-U).  Other commands can fill register or	append
       new files to it.

       Presently vifm supports ", _, a-z and A-Z characters as register names.

       As mentioned above " is unnamed register and has special meaning of the
       default register.  Every time when you use named registers (a-z and  A-
       Z)  unnamed  register  is  updated to contain same list of files as the
       last used register.

       _ is black hole register.  It can be used for writing, but its list  is
       always empty.

       Registers with names from a to z  and from A to Z are named ones.  Low‐
       ercase registers are cleared before adding new files,  while  uppercase
       aren't and should be used to append new files to the existing file list
       of appropriate lowercase register (A for a, B for b, ...).

       Registers can be changed on :empty command if they contain files  under
       trash directory (see "Trash directory" section below).

       Registers do not contain one file more than once.

       Example:

	 "a2yy

       will  put  names  of two files to register a (and to the unnamed regis‐
       ter),

	 "Ad

       will remove one file and append its name to  register  a  (and  to  the
       unnamed register),

	 p or "ap or "Ap

       will insert previously yanked and deleted files into current directory.

Selectors
       y,  d, D, !, gu and gU commands accept selectors.  You can combine them
       with any of selectors below to quickly remove or yank several files.

       Most of selectors are like vi motions: j, k, gg, G, H, L, M, %,	f,  F,
       ;, comma, ', ^, 0 and $.  But there are some additional ones.

       a      all files in current view.

       s      selected files.

       S      all files except selected.

       Examples:
	dj - delete file under cursor and one below.
	d2j - delete file under cursor and two below.
	y6gg - yank all files from cursor position to 6th file in the list.

       When you pass a count to whole command and its selector they are multi‐
       plied. So:
	2d2j - delete file under cursor and four below.
	2dj - delete file under cursor and two below.
	2y6gg - yank all files from cursor position to 12th file in the list.

Visual Mode
       Visual mode has to generic operating submodes:

       - plain selection as it is in Vim;

       - selection editing submode.

       Both modes select files in range from cursor position at  which	visual
       mode  was  entered to current cursor position (let's call it "selection
       region").  Each of two borders can be adjusted by swapping them via "o"
       or  "O"	keys  and  updating cursor position with regular cursor motion
       keys.  Obviously, once initial cursor position  is  altered  this  way,
       real start position becomes unavailable.

       Plain  Vim-like visual mode starts with cleared selection, which is not
       restored on rejecting selection ("Escape", "Ctrl-C", "v",  "V").   Con‐
       trary  to it, selection editing doesn't clear previously selected files
       and restores them after reject.	Accepting selection by	performing  an
       operation on selected items (e.g. yanking them via "y") moves cursor to
       the top of current selection region (not to the top most selected  file
       of the view).

       In  turn,  selection  editing  supports three types of editing (look at
       statusbar to know which one is currently active):

       - append - amend selection by selecting elements in selection region;

       - remove - amend selection by deselecting elements in selection region;

       - invert - amend selection by inverting selection of elements in selec‐
	 tion region.

       No  matter  how	you  activate selection editing it starts in "append".
       One can switch type of operation (in the order given above) via	"Ctrl-
       G" key.

       Almost all normal mode keys work in visual mode, but instead of accept‐
       ing selectors they operate on selected items.

       Enter  save selection and go back to normal mode not moving cursor.

       av     leave visual mode if in amending mode (restores previous	selec‐
	      tion), otherwise switch to amending selection mode.

       gv     restore previous visual selection.

       v, V, Ctrl-C or Escape
	      leave  visual  mode if not in amending mode, otherwise switch to
	      normal visual selection.

       Ctrl-G switche type of amending by round robin scheme: append -> remove
	      -> invert.

       :      enter  command  line  mode.  When you leave it selection will be
	      cleared.

       In general, all "Ctrl-W x" keys above work the same was	as  in	Normal
       mode.   Active  mode  is automatically changed on navigating among win‐
       dows.  When less-like mode activated on file preview is left using  one
       by  "Ctrl-W  x"	keys, its state is stored until another file is showed
       using preview (it's possible to leave the mode, hide preview  pane,  do
       something  else,  then get back to the file and show preview pane again
       with previously stored state in it).

Command line Mode
       These keys are available in all submodes of the command line mode: com‐
       mand, search, prompt and filtering.

       Down,  Up, Left, Right, Home, End and Delete are extended keys and they
       are not available if  vifm  is  compiled  with  --disable-extended-keys
       option.

       Esc, Ctrl-C
	      leave  command  line  mode,  cancels  input.  Cancelled input is
	      saved into appropriate history and can be recalled later.

       Ctrl-M, Enter
	      execute command and leave command line mode.

       Ctrl-I, Tab
	      complete command or its argument.

       Shift-Tab
	      complete in reverse order.

       Ctrl-_ stop completion and return original input.

       Ctrl-K remove characters from cursor position till the end of line.

       Ctrl-U remove characters from cursor position  till  the  beginning  of
	      line.

       Ctrl-H, Backspace
	      remove character before the cursor.

       Ctrl-D, Delete
	      remove character under the cursor.

       Ctrl-B, Left
	      move cursor to the left.

       Ctrl-F, Right
	      move cursor to the right.

       Ctrl-A, Home
	      go to line beginning.

       Ctrl-E, End
	      go to line end

       Alt-B  go to the beginning of previous word.

       Alt-F  go to the end of next word.

       Ctrl-W remove  characters  from	cursor	position till the beginning of
	      previous word.

       Alt-D  remove characters from cursor position  till  the  beginning  of
	      next word.

       Ctrl-T swap the order of current and previous character and move cursor
	      forward or, if cursor past the end of line, swap	the  order  of
	      two last characters in the line.

       Alt-.  insert last part of previous command to current cursor position.
	      Each next call will insert last part of older command.

       Ctrl-G edit command-line content in external editor.  See "Command line
	      editing" section for details.

       Ctrl-N recall more recent command-line from history.

       Ctrl-P recall older command-line from history.

       Up     recall more recent command-line from history, that begins as the
	      current command-line.

       Down   recall older command-line from history, that begins as the  cur‐
	      rent command-line.

Pasting special values
       The  shortcuts listed below insert specified values into current cursor
       position.  Last key of every shortcut references value that it inserts:

	- c - [c]urrent file
	- d - [d]irectory path
	- e - [e]xtension of a filename
	- r - [r]oot part of a filename
	- t - [t]ail part of directory path

	- a - [a]utomatic filter
	- m - [m]anual filter
	- = - local filter, which is bound to "=" in normal mode

       Values related to filelist in current pane are available through Ctrl-X
       prefix,	while  values  from  the other pane have doubled Ctrl-X key as
       their prefix (doubled Ctrl-X is presumably easier to type  than	upper‐
       case  letters; it's still easy to remap the keys to correspond to names
       of similar macros).

       Ctrl-X c
	      name of the current file of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X c
	      name of the current file of the inactive pane.

       Ctrl-X d
	      path to the current directory of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X d
	      path to the current directory of the inactive pane.

       Ctrl-X e
	      extension of the current file of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X e
	      extension of the current file of the inactive pane.

       Ctrl-X r
	      name root of current file of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X r
	      name root of current file of the inactive pane.

       Ctrl-X t
	      the last component of path  to  the  current  directory  of  the
	      active pane.

       Ctrl-X Ctrl-X t
	      the last component of path to the current directory of the inac‐
	      tive pane.


       Ctrl-X a
	      value of automatic filter of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X m
	      value of manual filter of the active pane.

       Ctrl-X =
	      value of local filter of the active pane.

Command line editing
       vifm provides a facility to edit several kinds of data, that is usually
       edited  in  command-line mode, in external editor (using command speci‐
       fied by ´vicmd' or 'vixcmd' option).  This has at least two  advantages
       over built-in command-line mode:
	- one can use full power of Vim to edit text;
	- finding and reusing history entries becomes possible.

       The facility is supported by four input submodes of the command-line:
	- command;
	- forward search;
	- backward search;
	- file rename (see description of cw and cW normal mode keys).

       Editing command-line using external editor is activated by the c_CTRL-G
       shortcut.  It's also possible to do almost the  same  from  Normal  and
       Visual modes using q:, q/ and q? commands.

       Temporary file created for the purpose of editing the line has the fol‐
       lowing structure:

       1.  First line, which is either empty or contains text already  entered
	   in command-line.

       2.  2nd	and  all other lines with history items starting with the most
	   recent one.	Altering this lines in any way	won't  change  history
	   items stored by vifm.

       After  editing  application  is	finished the first line of the file is
       taken as the result of operation, when  the  application  returns  zero
       exit  code.  If the application returns an error (see :cquit command in
       Vim), all the edits made to the file are ignored, but the initial value
       of the first line is saved in appropriate history.

Commands
       Commands are executed with :command_name<Return>

       Commented  out  lines  should start with the double quote symbol, which
       may be preceded by whitespace characters.

       Most of the commands have two forms: complete and the short one.  Exam‐
       ple:
	   :noh[lsearch]
       This  means  the  complete  command is nohlsearch, and the short one is
       noh.

       Most of command-line commands completely reset selection in the current
       view.  However, there are several exceptions:

       - ":invert s" will most likely leave some files selected;

       - :if  and :else commands doesn't affect selection on successful execu‐
	 tion.

       ´|' can be used to separate commands, so you can give multiple commands
       in  one	line.	If you want to use '|' in an argument, precede it with
       '\'.

       These commands see '|' as  part	of  their  arguments  even  when  it's
       escaped:

	   :[range]!
	   :cmap
	   :cnoremap
	   :command
	   :filetype
	   :fileviewer
	   :filextype
	   :map
	   :mmap
	   :mnoremap
	   :nmap
	   :nnoremap
	   :noremap
	   :normal
	   :qmap
	   :qnoremap
	   :vmap
	   :vnoremap
	   :windo
	   :winrun

       To  be able to use another command after one of these, wrap it with the
       :execute command.  An example:
	   if filetype('.') == 'reg' | execute '!!echo regular file' | endif

       :[count]

       :number
	      move to the file number.
	      :12 would move to the 12th file in the list.
	      :0 move to the top of the list.
	      :$ move to the bottom of the list.

       :[count]command
	      The  only  builtin  :[count]command  are	:[count]d[elete]   and
	      :[count]y[ank].

       :d3    would  delete  three files starting at the current file position
	      moving down.

       :3d    would delete one file at the third line in the list.

       :command [args]

       :[range]!program
	      will execute the program in a shell

       :[range]!command &

       will run the process in the background using vifm's means.

       Programs that write to stdout like ls  will  create  an	error  message
       showing partial output of the command.

       Take note of the space before ampersand symbol, if you omit it, command
       will be run in the background using job control of your shell.

       Accepts macros.

						:!!

       :[range]!! <program>
	      is the same as :! but will pause the screen before returning  to
	      Vifm.

       :!!    will execute the last command.

						:alink

       :[range]alink[!?]
	      creates  absolute  symbolic links of files in directory of other
	      view.  With "?"  vifm will  open	vi  to	edit  filenames.   "!"
	      forces overwrite.

       :[range]alink[!] path
	      creates  absolute symbolic links of files in directory specified
	      with the path (absolute or relative to directory of other view).
	      "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]alink[!] name1 name2...
	      creates  absolute  symbolic links of files in directory of other
	      view giving each next link a corresponding name from  the  argu‐
	      ment list.  "!" forces overwrite.

						:apropos

       :apropos manpage
	      will  create  a  menu  of items returned by the apropos command.
	      Selecting an item in the menu will open the  corresponding  man‐
	      page.   By  default the command relies on the external "apropos"
	      utility, which can be customized by altering value of the 'apro‐
	      posprg' option.

       :apropos
	      repeats last :apropos command.

						:cd

       :cd or :cd ~ or :cd $HOME
	      change to your home directory.

       :cd -  go to previous directory.

       :cd ~/dir
	      change directory to ~/dir.

       :cd /curr/dir /other/dir
	      change  directory of the current pane to /curr/dir and directory
	      of the other pane to /other/dir.	When using relative paths vifm
	      assumes  that  both of them are relative to current directory of
	      current view.  Command will not fail if one  of  directories  is
	      invalid.	Accepts macros.

       :cd! /dir
	      same as :cd /dir /dir.

						:change

       :c[hange]
	      create a menu window to alter a files properties.

						:chmod

       :[range]chmod
	      shows file attributes (permission on *nix and properties on Win‐
	      dows) change dialog.

       :[range]chmod[!] arg...
	      only for *nix
	      changes permissions for files.  See 'man chmod' for arg  format.
	      "!" means set permissions recursively.

						:chown

       :[range]chown
	      only for *nix
	      same as co key in normal mode.

       :[range]chown [user][:][group]
	      only for *nix
	      changes  owner  and/or  group of files.  Operates on directories
	      recursively.

						:clone

       :[range]clone[!?]
	      clones files in current directory.  With "?" vifm will  open  vi
	      to edit filenames.  "!" forces overwrite.  Macros are expanded.

       :[range]clone[!] path
	      clones  files  to directory specified with the path (absolute or
	      relative to current directory).  "!" forces  overwrite.	Macros
	      are expanded.

       :[range]clone[!] name1 name2...
	      clones  files in current directory giving each next clone a cor‐
	      responding name from the argument list.  "!"  forces  overwrite.
	      Macros are expanded.

						:colorscheme

       :colo[rscheme]?
	      prints current color scheme name in the status bar.

       :colo[rscheme]
	      gives  a	menu  with a list of available color schemes.  You can
	      choose primary color scheme here.  It will be used for  view  if
	      no  path	was configured for a specific color scheme.  It's also
	      used to set border color (except view titles) and colors in  the
	      menus and dialogs.

       :colo[rscheme] color_scheme_name
	      changes  primary	color scheme to color_scheme_name.  In case of
	      errors (e.g.  some colors are not supported by terminal)	either
	      nothing is changed or colo rscheme is reset to builtin colors to
	      ensure that TUI is left in a usable state.

       :colo[rscheme] color_scheme_name directory
	      associates directory with the color scheme.  The directory argu‐
	      ment  can  be  both  absolute or relative path when :colorscheme
	      command is executed from command line, but mandatory  should  be
	      an  absolute path when the command is executed in scripts loaded
	      at startup (until vifm is completely loaded).

						:comclear

       :comc[lear]
	      removes all user defined commands.

						:command

       :com[mand]
	      gives a menu of user commands.

       :com[mand] beginning
	      shows user defined commands that start with the beginning.

       :com[mand] name action
	      sets a new user command.
	      Trying to use a reserved command name will result  in  an  error
	      message.
	      Use :com[mand]! to overwrite a previously set command.
	      Unlike  vim  user  commands  do not have to start with a capital
	      letter.  User commands are run in a shell by default.  To run  a
	      command  in  the background you must set it as a background com‐
	      mand with & at the end of the commands action (:com rm rm %f &).
	      Command  name  cannot contain numbers or special symbols (except
	      '?' and '!').

       :com[mand] name /pattern
	      sets search pattern.

       :com[mand] name =pattern
	      sets local filter value.

       :com[mand] name filter{:filter args}
	      sets file name filter (see :filter  command  description).   For
	      example:
	       " display only audio files
	       :command onlyaudio filter/.+.\(mp3|wav|mp3|flac|ogg|m4a|wma|ape\)$/i
	       " display everything except audio files
	       :command noaudio filter!/.+.\(mp3|wav|mp3|flac|ogg|m4a|wma|ape\)$/i

       :com[mand] cmd :commands
	      will  set  kind of alias for internal command (like in a shell).
	      Will pass range given to alias to an aliased command, so running
	      :%cp after
		:command cp :copy %a
	      equals
		:%copy

						:copy

       :[range]co[py][!?][ &]
	      copies  files  to  directory  of other view.  With "?" vifm will
	      open vi to edit filenames.  "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]co[py][!] path[ &]
	      copies files to directory specified with the path  (absolute  or
	      relative to directory of other view).  "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]co[py][!] name1 name2...[ &]
	      copies  files to directory of other view giving each next file a
	      corresponding name from the argument  list.   "!"  forces  over‐
	      write.

						:delete

       :[range]d[elete][!][ &]
	      delete  selected	file  or  files.   "!" means completely remove
	      file.

       :[range]d[elete][!] [reg] [count][ &]
	      will delete files to the reg  register.	"!"  means  completely
	      remove file.

						:delcommand

       :delc[ommand] command_name
	      will remove the command_name user command.

						:delmarks

       :delm[arks]!
	      will delete all marks.

       :delm[arks] marks ...
	      will  delete  specified marks, each argument is treated as a set
	      of marks.

						:display

       :di[splay]
	      popup menu with registers content.

       :di[splay] list ...
	      display the contents of the numbered and	named  registers  that
	      are  mentioned in list (for example "az to display "", "a and "z
	      content).

						:dirs

       :dirs  display directory stack.

						:echo

       :ec[ho] [<expr>...]
	      evaluates each argument as an expression and outputs them  sepa‐
	      rated  by a space.  See help on :let command for a definition of
	      <expr>.

						:edit

       :[range]e[dit] [file...]
	      will load the selected or passed file or files into vi.  Accepts
	      macros.

						:else

       :el[se]

	      were not being executed.	See also help on :if and  :endif  com‐
	      mands.

						:empty

       :empty will  permanently remove files from all existing non-empty trash
	      directories.  It will also remove all operations	from  undolist
	      that  have  no  sense  after :empty and remove all records about
	      files located inside directories from all registers.  Removal is
	      performed  as  background  task with undetermined amount of work
	      and can be checked via :jobs menu.  See "Trash  directory"  sec‐
	      tion below.

						:endif

       :en[dif]
	      ends  conditional  block.   See  also help on :if and :else com‐
	      mands.

						:execute

       :exe[cute] [<expr>...]
	      evaluates each argument as an expression and joins results sepa‐
	      rated  by a space to get a single string, which is then executed
	      as a command-line command.  See help on :let command for a defi‐
	      nition of <expr>.

						:exit

       :exi[t][!]
	      same as :quit.

						:file

       :f[ile]
	      popup  menu  of  programs  set  for the file type of the current
	      file. Add ' &' at the end of command to  run  program  in  back‐
	      ground.

       :f[ile] arg
	      run  associated command that begins with the arg without opening
	      menu.

						:filetype

       :filet[ype] pat1,pat2,... [{descr}]def_prog[ &],[{descr}]prog2[ &],...
	      will associate given program  list  to  each  of	the  patterns.
	      Associated  program (command) is used by handlers of l and Enter
	      keys (and also in the :file menu).  If you need to insert  comma
	      into command just double it (",,").  Space followed by an amper‐
	      sand as two last characters of a command means  running  of  the
	      command in the background.  Optional description can be given to
	      each command to ease understanding of what command  will	do  in
	      the  :file  menu.  Vifm will try the rest of the programs for an
	      association when the default isn't found.   When	program  entry
	      doesn't  contain	any  of  vifm  macros, name of current file is
	      appended as if program entry ended with %c macro on *nix and %"c
	      on  Windows.   On  Windows path to executables containing spaces
	      can (and should be for correct work with such paths)  be	double
	      quoted.	See "Globs" section below for pattern definition.  See
	      also "Automatic FUSE mounts" section below.  Example for zip ar‐
	      chives and several actions:

	       filetype *.zip,*.jar,*.war,*.ear
		      \ {Mount with fuse-zip}
		      \ FUSE_MOUNT|fuse-zip %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR,
		      \ {View contents}
		      \ zip -sf %c | less,
		      \ {Extract here}
		      \ tar -xf %c,

						:filextype

       :filex[type] pat1,pat2,... [{ description }] def_program,program2,...
	      same as :filetype, but vifm will ignore this command if it's not
	      running in X.  In X  :filextype  is  equal  to  :filetype.   See
	      "Globs"  section	below for pattern definition.  See also "Auto‐
	      matic FUSE mounts" section below.

	      For example, consider the following settings  (the  order  might
	      seem strange, but it's for the demonstration purpose):

	       filetype *.html,*.htm
			{View in lynx}
			lynx
	       filextype *.html,*.htm
			{Open with dwb}
			dwb %f %i &,
	       filetype *.html,*.htm
			{View in links}
			links
	       filextype *.html,*.htm
			{Open with firefox}
			firefox %f &,
			{Open with uzbl}
			uzbl-browser %f %i &,

	      If  you're using vifm inside a terminal emulator that is running
	      in graphical environment (when X is used on *nix; always on Win‐
	      dows), vifm will attempt to run application in this order:

	      1. lynx 2. dwb 3. links 4. firefox 5. uzbl

	      If  there is no graphical environment (checked presence of $DIS‐
	      PLAY environment variable on *nix; never	happens  on  Windows),
	      the list will look like:

	      1. lynx 2. links

	      Just as if all :filextype commands were not there.

	      The  purpose of such differentiation is to allow comfortable use
	      of vifm with same settings in desktop environment/through remote
	      connection (SSH)/ in native console.

						:fileviewer

       :filev[iewer] pat1,pat2,... command
	      will  associate  given  command  as a viewer to each of the pat‐
	      terns.  Viewer is a command which output is captured and	showed
	      in  the  second  pane of vifm after running :view command.  When
	      the command doesn't contain any of vifm macros, name of  current
	      file is appended as if command ended with %c macro.  See "Globs"
	      section below for pattern definition.  Example for zip archives:

	       fileviewer *.zip,*.jar,*.war,*.ear zip -sf %c

						:filter

       :filter[!] regular_expression_pattern
	      :filter[!] /regular_expression_pattern/[flags] will  filter  all
	      the  files  out  of the directory listing that match the regular
	      expression.  Using second variant you can use the bar ('|') sym‐
	      bol  without  escaping.	Empty regular expression (specified by
	      //, "" or '') means using of the last search pattern.   Use  '!'
	      to control state of filter inversion after updating filter value
	      (also see 'cpoptions' description).  Filter is matched case sen‐
	      sitively on *nix and case insensitively on Windows.

	      Supported flags:
	       - "i" makes filter case insensitive;
	       - "I" makes filter case sensitive.

	      Flags  might  be	repeated  multiple times, later ones win (e.g.
	      "iiiI" is equivalent to "I" and "IiIi" is the same as "i").

	      " filter all files ending in .o from the filelist.
	      :filter /.o$/

	      Note: vifm uses extended regular expressions.

       :filter
	      reset filter (set it to empty string) and show all files.

       :filter!
	      same as :invert.

       :filter?
	      show information on local, name and auto filters.

						:find

       :[range]fin[d] pattern
	      will show results of find command in the menu.   Searches  among
	      selected	files if any.  Accepts macros.	By default the command
	      relies on the external "find" utility, which can	be  customized
	      by altering value of the 'findprg' option.

       :[range]fin[d] -opt...
	      same  as	:find  above,  but  user  defines  all find arguments.
	      Searches among selected files if any.

       :[range]fin[d] path -opt...
	      same as :find  above,  but  user	defines  all  find  arguments.
	      Ignores selection and range.

       :[range]fin[d]
	      repeats last :find command.

						:finish

       :fini[sh]
	      Stop  sourcing a script. Can only be used in a vifm script file.
	      This is a quick way to skip the rest of the file.

						:grep

       :[range]gr[ep][!] pattern
	      will show results of grep command  in  the  menu.   Add  "!"  to
	      request  inversion  of  search (look for lines that do not match
	      pattern).  Searches among selected files if  any	and  no  range
	      given.  Ignores binary files by default.	By default the command
	      relies on the external "grep" utility, which can	be  customized
	      by altering value of the 'grepprg' option.

       :[range]gr[ep][!] -opt...
	      same  as :grep above, but user defines all find arguments, which
	      are not escaped.	Searches among selected files if any.

       :[range]gr[ep][!]
	      repeats last :grep command.  "!" of this command inverts "!"  in
	      repeated command.

						:help

       :h[elp]
	      show the help file.

       :h[elp] argument
	      is the same as using ':h argument' in vim.  Use vifm-<something>
	      to get help on vifm (tab completion works).  This  form  of  the
	      command doesn't work when ´vimhelp' option is off.

						:highlight

       :hi[ghlight]
	      will  show information about all highlight groups in the current
	      directory.

       :hi[ghlight] clear
	      will reset all highlighting to builtin defaults.

       :hi[ghlight] group-name
	      will show information on given highlight group  of  the  primary
	      color scheme.

       :hi[ghlight] group-name cterm=style | ctermfg=color | ctermbg=color
	      sets  style  (cterm),  foreground  (ctermfg)  or/and  background
	      (ctermbg) parameters of highlight groups of the current  primary
	      color scheme.

       All style values as well as color names are case insensitive.

       Available style values (some of them can be combined):
	- bold
	- underline
	- reverse or inverse
	- standout
	- none

       Available group-name values:
	- Win - color of all windows (views, dialogs, menus)
	- Border - color of vertical parts of the border
	- TopLineSel - top line color of the current pane
	- TopLine - top line color of the other pane
	- CmdLine - the command line/status bar color
	- ErrorMsg - color of error messages in the status bar
	- StatusLine - color of the line above the status bar
	- WildMenu - color of the wild menu items
	- CurrLine - line at cursor position in active view
	- OtherLine - line at cursor position in inactive view
	- Selected - color of selected files
	- Directory - color of directories
	- Link - color of symbolic links in the views
	- BrokenLink - color of broken symbolic links
	- Socket - color of sockets
	- Device - color of block and character devices
	- Executable - color of executable files
	- Fifo - color of fifo pipes

       Available colors:
	- -1 or default or none - default or transparent
	- black   and lightblack
	- red	  and lightred
	- green   and lightgreen
	- yellow  and lightyellow
	- blue	  and lightblue
	- magenta and lightmagenta
	- cyan	  and lightcyan
	- white   and lightwhite
	- 0-255 - corresponding colors from 256-color palette

       Light  versions	of  colors are regular colors with bold attribute set.
       So order of arguments of :highlight command is important and it's  bet‐
       ter  to	put  "cterm" in front of others to prevent it from overwriting
       attributes set by "ctermfg" or "ctermbg" arguments.

       For convenience of color scheme authors xterm-like names for 256  color
       palette	  is	also   supported.    The   mapping   is   taken   from
       http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Xterm256_color_names_for_console_Vim	Dupli‐
       cated  entries were altered by adding an underscore followed by numeri‐
       cal suffix.

       There  are  two	colors	(foreground  and background) and only one bold
       attribute.   Thus  single  bold	attribute  affects  both  colors  when
       "reverse"  attribute  is used in vifm run inside terminal emulator.  At
       the same time linux native console can handle  boldness	of  foreground
       and  background colors independently, but for consistency with terminal
       emulators this is available only implicitly by using light versions  of
       colors.	This behaviour might be changed in the future.

       Although  vifm  supports 256 colors in a sense they are supported by UI
       drawing library, whether you will be able to use  all  of  them	highly
       depends	on your terminal.  To set up terminal properly, make sure that
       $TERM in the environment you run vifm is set to name of 256-color  ter‐
       minal   (on   *nixes  it  can  also  be	set  via  X  resources),  e.g.
       xterm-256color.	One can find list of available terminal names by list‐
       ing  /usr/lib/terminfo/.   Number  of colors supported by terminal with
       current settings can be checked via "tput colors" command.

       Here is the hierarchy of highlight groups, which you need to  know  for
       using transparency:
	 StatusLine
	   WildMenu
	 Border
	 CmdLine
	   ErrorMsg
	 Win
	   Directory
	   Link
	   BrokenLink
	   Socket
	   Device
	   Fifo
	   Executable
	     Selected
	       CurrLine
	       OtherLine
	 TopLine
	   TopLineSel

       "none"  means  default terminal color for highlight groups at the first
       level of the hierarchy and transparency for all others.

						:history

       :his[tory]
	      creates a popup menu of directories visited.

       :his[tory] x
	      x can be:
	      d[ir]	or . show directory history.
	      c[md]	or : show command line history.
	      s[earch]	or / show search history and search forward on l key.
	      f[search] or / show search history and search forward on l key.
	      b[search] or ? show search history and search backward on l key.
	      i[nput]	or @ show prompt history (e.g. on one file renaming).
	      fi[lter]	or = show filter history (see description of  the  "="
	      normal mode command).

						:if

       :if {expr1}
	      starts  conditional  block.   Commands  are  executed until next
	      matching :else of :endif command if {expr1}  evaluates  to  non-
	      zero,  otherwise	they  are ignored.  See also help on :else and
	      :endif commands.

	      Example:
		if $TERM == "screen.linux"
		    highlight CurrLine ctermfg=lightwhite ctermbg=lightblack
		else
		    highlight CurrLine cterm=bold,reverse ctermfg=black ctermbg=white
		endif

						:invert

       :invert [f]
	      invert file name filter.

       :invert? [f]
	      show current filter state.

       :invert s
	      invert selection.

       :invert o
	      invert sorting order of the primary sorting key.

       :invert? o
	      show sorting order of the primary sorting key.

						:jobs

       :jobs  shows menu of current backgrounded processes.

						:let

       :let $ENV_VAR = <expr>
	      sets environment variable.  Warning: setting  environment  vari‐
	      able to an empty string on Windows removes it.

       :let $ENV_VAR .= <expr>
	      append value to environment variable.

       Where  <expr> could be a single-quoted string, double-quoted string, an
       environment variable, function call or a concatanation of any  of  them
       in any order using the '.' operator.  Any whitespace is ignored.

						:locate

       :locate filename
	      uses  the locate command to create a menu of filenames Selecting
	      a file from the menu will reload the current file list  in  vifm
	      to show the selected file.  By default the command relies on the
	      external "locate" utility (it's assumed  that  its  database  is
	      already built), which can be customized by altering value of the
	      'locateprg' option.

       :locate
	      repeats last :locate command.

						:mark

       :[range]ma[rk][?] x [/full/path] [filename]
	      Set mark x (a-zA-Z0-9) at /full/path and filename.   By  default
	      current  directory  is being used.  If no filename was given and
	      /full/path is current directory then last  file  in  [range]  is
	      used.  Using of macros is allowed.  Question mark will stop com‐
	      mand from overwriting existing marks.

						:marks

       :marks create a popup menu of bookmarks.

       :marks list ...
	      display the contents of the marks that are mentioned in list.

						:messages

       :mes[sages]
	      shows previously given messages (up to 50).

						:mkdir

       :mkdir[!] dir ...
	      creates directories with given names.   "!"  means  make	parent
	      directories as needed.  Macros are expanded.

						:move

       :[range]m[ove][!?][ &]
	      moves files to directory of other view.  With "?" vifm will open
	      vi to edit filenames.  "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]m[ove][!] path[ &]
	      moves files to directory specified with the  path  (absolute  or
	      relative to directory of other view).  "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]m[ove][!] name1 name2...[ &]
	      moves  files  to directory of other view giving each next file a
	      corresponding name from the argument  list.   "!"  forces  over‐
	      write.

						:nohlsearch

       :noh[lsearch]
	      clear selection in current pane.

						:normal

       :norm[al][!] commands
	      executes	normal	mode  commands.  If "!" is used, mappings will
	      not be used.  If the last  command  is  unfinished  it  will  be
	      aborted  as  if  <esc> or <c-c> was typed.  A ":" should be com‐
	      pleted as well.  Commands can't start with a  space,  so	put  a
	      count of 1 (one) before it.

						:only

       :on[ly]
	      changes the window to show only the current file directory.

						:popd

       :popd  remove pane directories from stack.

						:pushd

       :pushd[!] /curr/dir [/other/dir]
	      add  pane  directories  to  stack and process arguments like :cd
	      command.

       :pushd exchanges the top two items of the directory stack.

						:pwd

       :pw[d] show the present working directory.

						:quit

       :q[uit][!]
	      will exit vifm (add ! if you don't want to save changes or check
	      if there are any of backgrounded commands still running).

						:yank

       :[range]y[ank] [reg] [count]
	      will yank files to the reg register.

						:ls

       :ls    lists windows of active terminal multiplexer (only when terminal
	      multiplexer is used).  This is achieved by issuing  proper  com‐
	      mand  for active terminal multiplexer, thus the list is not han‐
	      dled by vifm.

						:lstrash

       :lstrash
	      displays a menu with list of files in trash.   Each  element  of
	      the  list  is original path of a deleted file, thus the list can
	      contain duplicates.

						:registers

       :reg[isters]
	      popup menu with registers content.

       :reg[isters] list ...
	      display the contents of the numbered and	named  registers  that
	      are  mentioned in list (for example "az to display "", "a and "z
	      content).

						:rename

       :[range]rename[!]
	      rename files using vi to edit  names.  !	means  go  recursively
	      through directories.

       :[range]rename name1 name2...
	      rename each of selected files to a corresponding name.

						:restart

       :restart
	      will  free  a  lot of things (histories, commands, etc.), reread
	      vifminfo and vifmrc files and run startup commands passed in the
	      argument list, thus losing all unsaved changes (e.g. recent his‐
	      tory or keys mapped in current session).

						:restore

       :[range]restore
	      will restore file from trash  directory,	doesn't  work  in  any
	      other directory.	See "Trash directory" section below.

						:rlink

       :[range]rlink[!?]
	      creates  relative  symbolic links of files in directory of other
	      view.  With "?"  vifm will  open	vi  to	edit  filenames.   "!"
	      forces overwrite.

       :[range]rlink[!] path
	      creates  relative symbolic links of files in directory specified
	      with the path (absolute or relative to directory of other view).
	      "!" forces overwrite.

       :[range]rlink[!] name1 name2...
	      creates  relative  symbolic links of files in directory of other
	      view giving each next link a corresponding name from  the  argu‐
	      ment list.  "!" forces overwrite.

						:screen

       :screen
	      toggles whether to use the terminal multiplexer or not.
	      A  terminal  multiplexer uses pseudo terminals to allow multiple
	      windows to be used in the console or in a single xterm.	Start‐
	      ing  vifm  from  terminal  multiplexer  with appropriate support
	      turned on will cause vifm to open  a  new  terminal  multiplexer
	      window for each new file edited or program launched from vifm.
	      This  requires  screen  version 3.9.9 or newer for the screen -X
	      argument or tmux (version or newer 1.8 is recommented).

       :screen?
	      shows whether integration with terminal multiplexers is enabled.

       Note: the command is called screen for historical  reasons  (when  tmux
       wasn't  yet  supported) and might be changed in future releases, or get
       an alias.

						:set

       :se[t] shows all options that differ from their default value.

       :se[t] all
	      shows all options.

       :se[t] opt1=val1 opt2='val2' opt3="val3" ...
	      will set options to given values.
	      You can use following syntax:
	       - for all options - option, option? and option&
	       - for boolean options - nooption, invoption and option!
	       - for integer options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x
	       - for string options - option=x
	       - for string list options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x
	       - for enumeration options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x
	       - for enumeration options - option=x
	       - for set options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x
	       - for charset options - option=x, option+=x and option-=x

	      the meaning:
	       - option - turn option on (for boolean) or print its value (for
	      all others)
	       - nooption - turn option off
	       - invoption - invert option state
	       - option! - invert option state
	       - option? - print option value
	       - option& - reset option to its default value
	       - option=x or option:x - set option to x
	       - option+=x - add x to option
	       - option-=x - remove (or subtract) x from option

	      Option  name  can  be  prepended	and  appended by any number of
	      whitespace characters.

						:shell

       :sh[ell]
	      will start a shell.

						:sort

       :sor[t]
	      creates a popup menu of different sorting methods, when one  can
	      select primary sorting key.  When 'viewcolumns' options is empty
	      and 'lsview' is off, changing  primary  sorting  key  will  also
	      affect  view  look  (in particular the second column of the view
	      will be changed).

	      splits the window horizontally to show  both  file  directories.
	      And  changes other pane to path (absolute or relative to current
	      directory of active pane).

						:substitute

       :[range]s[ubstitute]/pattern/string/[flags]
	      for each file in range replace a match of pattern with string.

       String can contain \0...\9 to link to capture groups (\0 -  all	match,
       \1 - first group, etc.).

       Available flags:

       - i  -  ignore  case  (the 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' options are not
	 used)

       - I - don't ignore case (the 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase'  options  are
	 not used)

       - g - substitute all matches in each file name (each g toggles this)

       :[range]s[ubstitute]//string/[flags]
	 will use previous pattern.

       :[range]s[ubstitute]
	 will repeat previous substitution command.

       :trashes
	 lists all valid trash directories in  a  menu.   Only	non-empty  and
	 writable  trash  directories  are shown.  This is exactly the list of
	 directories that are cleared when :empty command is executed.

       String can contain  ...9 to link to capture groups (0 - all match, 1  -
       first group, etc.).

						:undolist

       :undol[ist]
	      show list of latest changes.  Add ! to see commands.

						:unlet

Ranges
       The ranges implemented include:
	 2,3 - from second to third file in the list (including it)
	 % - the entire directory.
	 . - the current position in the filelist.
	 $ - the end of the filelist.
	 't - the mark position t.

       Examples:

	 :%delete

       would delete all files in the directory.

	 :2,4delete

       would delete the files in the list positions 2 through 4.

	 :.,$delete

       would  delete  the  files  from	the current position to the end of the
       filelist.

	 :3delete4

       would delete the files in the list positions 3, 4, 5, 6.

       If a backward range is given :4,2delete - an query message is given and
       user can chose what to do next.

       The builtin commands that accept a range are :d[elete] and :y[ank].

Command macros
       The command macros may be used in user commands.

       %a     User  arguments.	 When  user arguments contain macros, they are
	      expanded before preforming substitution of %a.

       %c %"c The current file under the cursor.

       %C %"C The current file under the cursor in the other directory.

       %f %"f All of the selected files.

       %F %"F All of the selected files in the other directory list.

       %b %"b Same as %f %F.

       %d %"d Full path to current directory.

       %D %"D Full path to other file list directory.

       %rx %"rx
	      Full paths to files in the register {x}.	 In  case  of  invalid
	      symbol in place of {x}, it's processed with the rest of the line
	      and default register is used.

       %m     Show command output in a menu.

       %M     Same as %m, but l (or Enter) key is handled like for :locate and
	      :find commands.

       %S     Show command output in the status bar.

       %s     Execute  command	in split window of active terminal multiplexer
	      (ignored if not running inside one).

       %n     forbid using of terminal multiplexer to run the command.

       %i     Completely ignore command output.

       Use %% if you need to put a percent sign in your command.

       Note that %m, %M, %s, %S and %i macros are mutually exclusive. Only the
       last one of them in the command will take effect.

       You  can  use  filename	modifiers  after %c, %C, %f, %F, %b, %d and %D
       macros.	Supported modifiers are:

       - :p	      - full path

       - :u		-   UNC   name	 of   path   (e.g.    "\\server"    in
	 "\\server\share"),  Windows  only.   Expands to current computer name
	 for not UNC paths.

       - :~	      - relative to the home directory

       - :.	      - relative to current directory

       - :h	      - head of the filename

       - :t	      - tail of the filename

       - :r	      - root of the filename (without last extension)

       - :e	      - extension of the filename (last one)

       - :s?pat?sub?  - substitute the first occurrence of pat with sub.   You
	 can use any character for '?', but it must not occur in pat or sub.

       - :gs?pat?sub?  -  like :s, but substitutes all occurrences of pat with
	 sub.

	 See ':h filename-modifiers' in Vim's documentation for  the  detailed
	 description.

	 Using	%x  means  expand  corresponding macro escaping all characters
	 that have special meaning.  And %"x means using of double quotes  and
	 escape only backslash and double quote characters, which is more use‐
	 ful on Windows systems.

	 Position and quantity (if there is any) of %m, %M, %S or %s macros in
	 the  command  is  unimportant.  All their occurrences will be removed
	 from the resulting command.

	 %c and %f macros are expanded to file names only, when %C and %F  are
	 expanded to full paths.  %f and %F follow this in %b too.

       :com move mv %f %D
	 would	set the :move command to move all of the files selected in the
	 current directory to the other directory.

       The %a macro will substitute any arguments given in a command into  the
       command.  All arguments are considered optional.  ":com lsl !!ls -l %a"
       will set the lsl command to execute ls -l with or without an argument.

       :lsl<Return>
	 will list the directory contents of the current directory.

       :lsl filename<Return>
	 will list only the given filename.

       The macros can also be used in directly executing  commands.  ":!mv  %f
       %D" would move the current directory selected files to the other direc‐
       tory.

       Appending & to the end of a command will cause it to be executed in the
       background.Typically  you want to run two kinds of external commands in
       thebackground:
	  - GUI applications that doesn't fork thus block vifm (:!sxiv %f &);
	  - console tools that do not work with terminal (:!mv %f %D &).

       You don't want to run terminal commands, which require  terminal  input
       oroutput something because they will mess up vifm's TUI. Anyway, if you
       did runsuch a command, you can use Ctrl-L key to update vifm's TUI.

       Rewriting the example command with macros given above with  background‐
       ing:

	  :!mv %f %D &

       Note that %m, %M, %s, %S and %i macros have bigger priority than &.  So
       command containing at least one of them can't be backgrounded and "  &"
       at the end will be just silently ignored.

Command backgrounding
       Copy  and move operation can take a lot of time to proceed.  That's why
       vifm supports backgrounding of this  two  operations.   To  run	:copy,
       :move  or :delete command in the background just add " &" at the end of
       a command.

       For each background operation a new thread will be created.   Currently
       job cannot be stopped or paused.

       You  can  see  if  command  is  still running in the :jobs menu.  Back‐
       grounded commands have progress instead	of  process  id  at  the  line
       beginning.

       Background operations cannot be undone.

Cancellation
       Note that cancellation works somewhat different on Windows platform due
       to different mechanism of break signal  propagation.   One  also  might
       need to use Ctrl-Break shortcut instead of Ctrl-C.

       There are two types of operations that can be cancelled:

       - file system operations;

       - mounting with FUSE (but not unmounting as it can cause loss of data);

       - calls of external applications.

       Note  that  vifm  never terminates applications, it sends SIGINT signal
       and lets the application quit normally.

       When one of set of operations is cancelled (e.g. copying of 5th file of
       10  files),  further  operations  are cancelled too.  In this case undo
       history will contain only actually performed operations.

       Cancelled operations are indicated by "(cancelled)" suffix appended  to
       information message on statusbar.

       File system operations

       Currently  the  following  commands  can  be cancelled: :alink, :chmod,
       :chown,	:clone,  :copy,  :delete,  :mkdir,  :move,  :restore,  :rlink,
       :touch.	 File putting (on p/P key) can be cancelled as well.  It's not
       hard to see that these are mainly long-running operations.

       Cancelling commands when they are repeated for undo/redo operations  is
       allowed	for  convenience,  but is not recommended as further undo/redo
       operations might get blocked by	side-effects  of  partially  cancelled
       group of operations.

       These commands can't be cancelled: :empty, :rename, :substitute, :tr.

       Mounting with FUSE

       It's  not considered to be an error, so only notification on the status
       bar is shown.

       External application calls

       Each of this operations	can  be  cancelled:  :apropos,	:find,	:grep,
       :locate.

Globs
       :filetype,  :filextype  and :fileviewer commands support globs to match
       file names.  Here is a short  overview  of  globs  and  some  important
       points that one needs to know about them.

       Only names of files are matched by the globs, not full paths.  E.g.
	:filetype Makefile make %c
       will  match  files with name "Makefile" regardless whether it's in root
       or home directory.

       *, ?, [ and ] are treated as special symbols in the pattern.  E.g.
	:filetype * less %c
       matches all files.  One can use character classes for escaping, so
	:filetype [*] less %c
       matches only one file name, the one which contains only	asterisk  sym‐
       bol.

       *  means  any  number  of any characters (possibly an empty substring),
       with one exception: asterisk at the pattern beginning doesn't match dot
       in the first position.  E.g.
	:fileviewer *.zip,*.jar zip -sf %c
       associates  using  of  zip program to preview all files with zip or jar
       extensions as listing of their content.

       ? means any character at this position.	E.g.
	:fileviewer ?.out file %c
       calls file tool for all files which has exactly	one  character	before
       their extension (e.g. a.out, b.out).

       Square brackets designate character class, which means that whole char‐
       acter class matches against any of characters listed in it.  For  exam‐
       ple
	:fileviewer *.[ch] highlight -O xterm256 -s dante --syntax c %c
       makes  vifm  call highlight program to colorize source and header files
       in C language for a 256-color terminal.	Equal command would be
	:fileviewer *.c,*.h highlight -O xterm256 -s dante --syntax c %c

       Inside square brackets ^ or ! can be used for symbol class  negotiation
       and  the - symbol to set a range. ^ and ! should appear right after the
       opening square bracket.	For example
	:filetype *.[!d]/ inspect_dir
       associates inspect_dir as additional handler for all  directories  that
       have one character extension unless it's "d" letter.  And
	:filetype [0-9].jpg sxiv
       associates  sxiv picture viewer only for JPEG-files that contain single
       digit in their name.

:set options
       Local options
	      These are kind of options that are local to a specific view.  So
	      you can set ascending sorting order for left pane and descending
	      order for right pane.

       aproposprg
	      type: string
	      default: "apropos %a"
	      Specifies format for an external command to be  invoked  by  the
	      :apropos command.  The format supports expanding of macros, spe‐
	      cific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for  insert‐
	      ing  percent  sign literally.  This option should include the %a
	      macro to specify placement of arguments passed to  the  :apropos
	      command.	 If the macro is not used, it will be implicitly added
	      after a space to the value of this option.

       autochpos
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      When disabled vifm will set cursor to the first line in the view
	      after  :cd and :pushd commands instead of saved cursor position.
	      Disabling this will also make vifm clear information about  cur‐
	      sor position in the view history on :cd and :pushd commands (and
	      on startup if 'autochpos' is disabled in the vifmrc).  l key  in
	      the  ":history  ." and ":trashes" menus is treated like :cd com‐
	      mand.  This option also affects bookmarks so that navigating  to
	      a bookmark doesn't restore cursor position.

       columns co
	      type: int
	      default: terminal width on startup
	      Terminal width in characters.

       cdpath cd
	      type: string list
	      default: value of $CDPATH with commas instead of colons
	      Specifies locations to check on changing directory with relative
	      path that doesn't start with "./"  or  "../".   When  non-empty,
	      current  directory  is  examined after directories listed in the
	      option.

	      This option doesn't affect completion of :cd command.

	      Example:
		  set cdpath=~
	      This way ":cd bin" will switch  to  "~/bin"  even  if  directory
	      named  "bin" exists in current directory, while ":cd ./bin" com‐
	      mand will ignore value of 'cdpath'.

       classify
	      type: string list
	      default: ":dir:/"
	      Specifies file name prefixes  and  suffixes  depending  on  file
	      types.  The format is: [{prefix}]:{filetype}:[{suffix}].	Either
	      {prefix} or {suffix} or both of them can be  omitted  (which  is
	      the  default  for  all unspecified file types), this means empty
	      {prefix} and/or {suffix}.  {prefix} and {suffix} should  consist
	      exactly  of  one	character.  Elements  are separated by commas.
	      Neither prefixes nor suffixes are part of file  names,  so  they
	      don't  affect  commands  which operate on file names in any way.
	      Comma (',') character should not be used.   List	of  file  type
	      names can be found in the description of filetype() function.

       confirm cf
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Ask  about permanent deletion of files (on D or :delete! command
	      or on undo/redo operation).

       cpoptions cpo
	      type: charset
	      default: "fst"
	      Contains	a  sequence  of  single-character  flags.   Each  flag
	      enables behaviour of older versions of vifm.  Flags:
	      f  -  when  included,  running  :filter  command	results in not
	      inverted (matching files	are  filtered  out)  and  :filter!  in
	      inverted (matching files are left) filter, when omitted, meaning
	      of the exclamation mark changes to the opposite;
	      s - when included, yy, dd and DD normal  mode  commands  act  on
	      selection, otherwise they operate on current file only;
	      t  -  when  included,  <tab>  (thus <c-i>) behave as <space> and
	      switch active pane, otherwise <tab> and <c-i> go forward in  the
	      view history.

       dotdirs
	      type: set
	      default: nonrootparent
	      Controls	displaying  of	dot directories.  The following values
	      are possible:
	       - rootparent    - show "../" in root directory of file system
	       - nonrootparent - show "../" in non-root  directories  of  file
	      system
	      Note  that  empty directories always contain "../" entry regard‐
	      less of value of this option.  "../" disappears at the moment at
	      least one file is created.

       fastrun
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      With  this  option  turned on you can run partially entered com‐
	      mands with unambiguous beginning using :! (e.g. :!Te instead  of
	      :!Terminal or :!Te<tab>).

       fillchars fcs
	      type: string list
	      default: ""
	      Sets characters used to fill borders.
		item	   default  Used for
		vborder:c  ' '	    left, middle and right vertical borders
	      If value is omitted, its default value is used.  Example:
	       set fillchars=vborder:Â·

       findprg
	      type: string
	      default:	"find %s %a -print , -type d \( ! -readable -o ! -exe‐
	      cutable \) -prune"
	      Specifies format for an external command to be  invoked  by  the
	      :find  command.	The  format supports expanding of macros, spe‐
	      cific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for  insert‐
	      ing  percent  sign literally.  This option should include the %s
	      macro to specify placement of list of paths to search in and  %a
	      or  %A  macro  to  specify  placement of arguments passed to the
	      :find command.  If some of the macros are not used, they will be
	      implicitly added after a space to the value of the option in the
	      following order: %s, %a.	Note that when neither %a nor  %A  are
	      specified, it's %a which is added implicitly.

	      The  macros can slightly change their meaning depending on :find
	      command arguments.  When the first argument points to an	exist‐
	      ing  directory,  %s is assigned all arguments and %a/%A are left
	      empty.  Otherwise, %s is assigned a dot  (".")  meaning  current
	      directory  or  list  of  selected  filenames, if any.  %a/%A are
	      assigned arguments when first argument starts with a dash ("-"),
	      otherwise  %a gets an escaped version of arguments, prepended by
	      "-name" (on *nix) or "-iname" (on Windows) predicate.

	      %a and %A macros contain almost the same value,  the  difference
	      is  that %a can be escaped and %A is never escaped.  %A is to be
	      used mainly on Windows, where shell escaping is a mess  and  can
	      break command execution.

	      Starting	from Windows Server 2003 a where command is available,
	      one can configure vifm to use it in the following way:
		  set findprg="where /R %s %A"
	      As the syntax of this command is rather limited, one  can't  use
	      :find command with selection of more than one item in this case.
	      The command looks for files only	completely  ignoring  directo‐
	      ries.

	      When  using  find  port  on  Windows, another option is to setup
	      'findprg' like this:
		  set findprg="find %s %a"

       followlinks
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Follow links on l or Enter.

       fusehome
	      type: string
	      default: "($TMPDIR | $TEMP | $TEMPDIR | $TMP)/vifm_FUSE/"
	      Directory to be used as a root dir for FUSE  mounts.   Value  of
	      the   option   can   contain   environment  variables  (in  form
	      "$envname"), which will be expanded (prepend it with a slash  to
	      prevent  expansion).   The  value  should  expand to an absolute
	      path.

	      If you change this option,  vifm	won't  remount	anything.   It
	      affects future mounts only.  See "Automatic FUSE mounts" section
	      below for more information.

       gdefault gd
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      When on, 'g' flag is on for :substitute by default.

       grepprg
	      type: string
	      default: "grep -n -H -I -r %i %a %s"
	      Specifies format for an external command to be  invoked  by  the
	      :grep  command.	The  format supports expanding of macros, spe‐
	      cific for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for  insert‐
	      ing  percent  sign literally.  This option should include the %i
	      macro to specify placement of  "-v"  string  when  inversion  of
	      results  is  requested,  %a  or %A macro to specify placement of
	      arguments passed to the :grep command and the %s macro to  spec‐
	      ify  placement  of  list	of files to search in.	If some of the
	      macros are not used, they will be implicitly added after a space
	      to the value of the 'grepprg' option in the following order: %i,
	      %a, %s.  Note that when neither %a nor %A are specified, it's %a
	      which is added implicitly.

	      See  'findprg'  option  for description of difference between %a
	      and %A.

	      Example of setup to use ack (http://beyondgrep.com/) instead  of
	      grep:
		  set grepprg=ack\ -H\ -r\ %i\ %a\ %s
	      or   The	 Silver  Searcher  (https://github.com/ggreer/the_sil‐
	      ver_searcher):
		  set grepprg=ag\ --line-numbers\ %i\ %a\ %s


       history hi
	      type: integer
	      default: 15
	      Maximum number of directories in the view history and  lines  in
	      the prompt, command line and search histories.

       hlsearch hls
	      type: bool
	      default: true
	      Highlight all matches of search pattern.

       iec    type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Use KiB, MiB, ... instead of KB, MB, ...

       ignorecase ic
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Ignore  case  in search patterns (:substitute, / and ? commands)
	      and characters after f and F commands.  It doesn't  affect  file
	      filtering.

       incsearch is
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      When this option is set, search and view update for local filter
	      is be performed starting from initial cursor position each  time
	      search pattern is changed.

       laststatus ls
	      type: boolean
	      default: true
	      Controls if status bar is visible.

       lines  type: int
	      default: terminal height on startup
	      Terminal height in lines.

       locateprg
	      type: string
	      default: "locate %a"
	      Specifies  format  for  an external command to be invoked by the
	      :locate command.	The format supports expanding of macros,  spe‐
	      cific  for a particular *prg option, and %% sequence for insert‐
	      ing percent sign literally.  This option should include  the  %a
	      macro  to  specify  placement of arguments passed to the :locate
	      command.	If the macro is not used, it will be implicitly  added
	      after a space to the value of this option.

       lsview type: boolean
	      default: false
	      type: local
	      When  this  option  is  set, directory view will be displayed in
	      multiple columns with filenames similar to  output  of  `ls  -x`
	      command.	See ls-like view section below for format description.

       number nu
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      type: local
	      Print line number in front of each filename when 'lsview' option
	      is turned off.  Use 'numberwidth' to control width of line  num‐
	      ber.  Also see 'relativenumber'.

       numberwidth nuw
	      type: integer
	      default: 4
	      type: local
	      Minimal number of characters for line number field.

       relativenumber rnu
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      type: local
	      Print  relative  line  number  in  front	of  each filename when
	      'lsview' option is turned off.   Use  'numberwidth'  to  control
	      width  of  line  number.	 Various  combinations of 'number' and
	      'relativenumber' lead to such results:

				      nonumber		     number

		  norelativenumber   | first		    |	1 first
				     | second		    |	2 second
				     | third		    |	3 third

		    relativenumber   |	 1 first	    |	1 first
				     |	 0 second	    |2	  second
				     |	 1 third	    |	1 third


       rulerformat ruf
	      type: string
	      default: "%=%l-%S "
	      Determines the content of the ruler.  Its width is 13 characters
	      and it's right aligned.  Following macros are supported:
	       %l - file number
	       %L - total number of files in view (including filtered)
	       %- - number of filtered files
	       %S - number of showed files
	       %= - separation point between left and right align items
	       %% - percent sign

	      Percent  sign  can  be followed by optional minimum field width.
	      Add '-' before minimum field width if you want field to be right
	      aligned.	Example:

	       set rulerformat="%=%2l-%S [%L] "

       runexec
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Run executable file on Enter or l.

       scrollbind scb
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      When  this  option  is  set, vifm will try to keep difference of
	      scrolling positions of two windows constant.

       scrolloff so
	      type: int
	      default: 0
	      Minimal number of screen lines to keep above and below the  cur‐
	      sor.   If you want cursor line to always be in the middle of the
	      view (except at the beginning or end of the file list), set this
	      option to some large value (e.g. 999).

       shell sh
	      type: string
	      default: $SHELL or "sh" or "cmd" (on MS-Windows)
	      Full path to the shell to use to run external commands.

       shortmess shm
	      type: charset
	      default: ""
	      Contains	a  sequence  of  single-character  flags.   Each  flag
	      enables shortening of some message displayed by vifm in the TUI.
	      Flags:
	      T  -  truncate status-bar messages in the middle if they are too
	      long to fit on the command line.	"..." will appear in the  mid‐
	      dle.

       slowfs type: string list
	      default: ""
	      only for *nix
	      A  list of mounter fs name beginnings (first column in /etc/mtab
	      or /proc/mounts) or paths prefixes for fs/directories that  work
	      too  slow  for  you.   This option can be used to stop vifm from
	      making some requests to particular kinds of  file  systems  that
	      can  slow  down file browsing.  Currently this means don't check
	      if directory has changed, skip check if target of symbolic links
	      exists,  assume  that  link  target  located  on slow fs to be a
	      directory (allows entering directories and navigating  to  files
	      via gf).

	      Example for autofs root /mnt/autofs:
	       set slowfs+=/mnt/autofs

       smartcase scs
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      Overrides  the  ignorecase option if the search pattern contains
	      at least one upper case character.  Only	used  when  ignorecase
	      option is enabled.  It doesn't affect file filtering.

       sort   type: string list
	      default: +name on *nix and +iname on Windows
	      type: local
	      Sets  list of sorting keys (first item is primary key, second is
	      secondary key, etc.):
		 [+-]ext   - extension
		 [+-]name  - name (including extension)
		 [+-]iname - name (including extension, ignores case)
		 [+-]type  - type (directory < file)
		 [+-]gid   - group id (*nix only)
		 [+-]gname - group name (*nix only)
		 [+-]mode  - mode (*nix only)
		 [+-]perms - permissions string (*nix only)
		 [+-]uid   - owner id (*nix only)
		 [+-]uname - owner name (*nix only)
		 [+-]size  - size
		 [+-]atime - time accessed (e.g. read, executed)
		 [+-]ctime - time changed (changes in metadata, e.g. mode)
		 [+-]mtime - time modified (when file contents is changed)

       Note: look for st_atime, st_ctime and st_mtime in "man 2 stat" for more
       information on time keys.

       ´+' means ascending sort for this key, and '-' means descending sort.

       In case name (iname on Windoes) is skipped, it will be added at the end
       automatically.

       Value of the option is checked to include default sorting key (name  on
       *nix, iname on Windows).  When it is absent, the key is appended to the
       value of the option.

       Type key is somewhat similar in this regard but it's added  implicitly:
       when  "type"  is  not specified, sorting behaves as if it was the first
       key in the list.  That's why if one  wants  sorting  algorithm  to  mix
       directories and files, "type" should be appended to sorting option, for
       example like this:
	set sort+=type
       or
	set sort=-size,type

       Value of the option is checked to include type key and default  sorting
       key  (name  on *nix, iname on Windows).	Here is what happens if one of
       them is missing:

       - type key is added at the beginning;

       - default key is added at the end;

       all other keys are left untouched (at most they are moved).

       This option also changes view columns according to primary sorting  key
       set, unless 'viewcolumns' option is not empty.

       sortnumbers
	      type: boolean
	      default: false
	      type: local
	      Natural sort of (version) numbers within text.

       statusline stl
	      type: string
	      default: ""
	      Determines  the content of the status line (the line right above
	      command-line).  Empty string means use same format like in  pre‐
	      vious versions.  Following macros are supported:

	      - %t - file name (considering value of the 'classify' option)

	      -  %A  -	file  attributes (permissions on *nix or properties on
		     Windows)

	      - %u - user name or uid (if it cannot be resolved)

	      - %g - group name or gid (if it cannot be resolved)

	      - %s - file size in human readable format

	      - %E - size of selected files in human readable format, same  as
		     %s  when no files are selected, except that it will never
		     show size of ../ in  visual  mode,  since	it  cannot  be
		     selected

	      - %d - file modification date (uses 'timefmt' option)

	      - all 'rulerformat' macros

	      Percent  sign  can  be followed by optional minimum field width.
	      Add '-' before minimum field width if you want field to be right
	      aligned.	Example:

	       set statusline="  %t%= %A %10u:%-7g %15s %20d "

	      On  Windows file properties include next flags (upper case means
	      flag is on):
	       A - archive
	       H - hidden
	       I - content isn't indexed
	       R - readonly
	       S - system
	       C - compressed
	       D - directory
	       E - encrypted
	       P - reparse point (e.g. symbolic link)
	       Z - sparse file

	      sortorder
		     type: enumeration
		     default: ascending
		     Sets sort order for primary key: ascending, descending.

	      syscalls
		     type: boolean
		     default: false
		     When enabled, vifm will rely on external applications  to
		     perform  file-system  operations,	otherwise system calls
		     are used instead (much faster).  The feature is  {EXPERI‐
		     MENTAL} and {WORK-IN-PROGRESS}.  The option will be even‐
		     tually removed.  Mostly *nix-like systems are affected.

	      tabstop ts
		     type: integer
		     default: value from curses library
		     Number of spaces that a Tab in the file counts for.

	      timefmt
		     type: string
		     default: " %m/%d %H:%M"
		     Format of time in file list.  See man date or  man  strf‐
		     time for details.

	      timeoutlen tm
		     type: integer
		     default: 1000
		     The  time in milliseconds that is waited for a mapped key
		     in case of already typed key sequence is ambiguous.

	      trash  type: boolean
		     default: true
		     Use  trash  directory.   See  "Trash  directory"  section
		     below.

	      trashdir
		     type: string
		     default: "$HOME/.vifm/Trash"
		     List  of  trash  directory path specifications, separated
		     with commas.  Each list item either defines  an  absolute
		     path  to  trash  directory  or a path relative to a mount
		     point root when list element starts with "%r/".  Value of
		     the  option  can  contain	environment variables (in form
		     "$envname"), which will be expanded (prepend  it  with  a
		     slash  to	prevent expansion).  Environment variables are
		     expanded when the option is set.

		     When new file gets cut (deleted) vifm traverses each ele‐
		     ment  of  the option in the order of their appearance and
		     uses first trash directory that it was able to create  or
		     that is already writable.

		     Example  of  customization to get one trash directory per
		     mount point:
		      set trashdir=%r/.vifm-Trash,$HOME/.vifm/Trash

		     Will attempt to create  the  directory  if  it  does  not
		     exist.  See "Trash directory" section below.

	      tuioptions to
		     type: charset
		     default: "ps"
		     Each  flag configures some aspect of TUI appearance.  The
		     flags are:
		     p - when included, file list inside  a  pane  gets  addi‐
		     tional single character padding on left and right sides;
		     s	- when included, left and right borders (side borders,
		     hence "s" character) are visible.

	      undolevels ul
		     type: integer
		     default: 100
		     Maximum number of changes that can be undone.

	      vicmd  type: string
		     default: "vim"
		     The actual command used to start vi.  Ampersand  sign  at
		     the  end  (regardless  whether  it's preceded by space or
		     not) means backgrounding of command.

	      viewcolumns
		     type: string
		     default: ""
		     type: local
		     Format string containing list of  columns	in  the  view.
		     When this option is empty view columns to show are chosen
		     automatically using sorting keys (see 'sort') as a  base.
		     Value  of this option is ignored if 'lsview' is set.  See
		     Column view section below for format description.

		     An example of setting the options for  both  panes  (note
		     vifm-windo command):
		      windo set viewcolumns=-{name}..,6{size},11{perms}

	      vixcmd type: string
		     default: value of vicmd
		     The  command  used to start vi when in X.	Ampersand sign
		     at the end (regardless whether it's preceded by space  or
		     not) means backgrounding of command.

	      vifminfo
		     type: set
		     default: bookmarks

	      Controls what will be saved in the $VIFM/vifminfo file.

	      windows, quick
			      view state, active view)
		 dhistory  - directory history
		 state	   - file name and dot filters and terminal multiplex‐
	      ers integration
			      state
		 cs	   - primary color scheme
		 savedirs  - save last visited directory (requires dhistory)
		 chistory  - command line history
		 shistory  - search history (/ and ? commands)
		 phistory  - prompt history
		 fhistory   -  history of local filter (see description of the

		     Searches wrap around end of the list.

Mappings
       Since it's not easy to enter special characters there are several  spe‐
       cial sequences that can be used in place of them.  They are:

       <cr>   Enter key

       <bs>   Backspace key

       <tab> <s-tab>
	      Tabulation and Shift+Tabulation keys

       <esc>  <space>  <home> <end> <left> <right> <up> <down> <pageup> <page‐
       down>
	      Keys with obvious names.

       <nop>  Provides a way to disable a mapping (by mapping it to <nop>).

       <del> <delete>
	      Delete key.   <del>  and	<delete>  mean	different  codes,  but
	      <delete> is more common.

       <c-a>,<c-b>,...,<c-z>,<c-[>,<c->,<c-]>,<c-^>,<c-_>
	      Control + some key.

       <a-a>,<a-b>,...,<a-z>
	      <m-a>,<m-b>,...,<m-z> Alt + some key.

       <a-c-a>,<a-c-b>,...,<a-c-z>
	      <m-c-a>,<m-c-b>,...,<m-c-z> only for *nix
	      Alt + Ctrl + some key.

       <f0> - <f63>
	      Functional keys

       <c-f1> - <c-f12>
	      only for MS-Windows
	      Functional keys with Control key pressed.

       <a-f1> - <a-f12>
	      only for MS-Windows
	      Functional keys with Alt key pressed.

       <s-f1> - <s-f12>
	      only for MS-Windows
	      Functional keys with Shift key pressed.

       vifm  removes  whitespace  characters  at the beginning and end of com‐
       mands.  That's why you may want to use <space> at the  end  of  rhs  in
       mappings.  For example:

	cmap <f1> man<space>

       will  put  "man " in line when you hit the <f1> key in the command line
       mode.

Expression syntax
       Supported expressions is a subset of what VimL provides.

       Expression syntax summary, from least to most significant:

       expr1	  expr2 == expr2	  equal
		  expr2 != expr2	  not equal
		  expr2 >  expr2	  greater than
		  expr2 >= expr2	  greater than or equal
		  expr2 <  expr2	  smaller than
		  expr2 <= expr2	  smaller than or equal

       expr2	  expr3 . expr3 ..	  string concatenation

       expr3	  - expr3		  unary minus
		  + expr3		  unary plus
		  ! expr3		  logical NOT

       expr4	  number		  number constant
		  "string"		  string constant, \ is special
		  'string'		  string constant, ' is doubled
		  &option		  option value
		  $VAR			  environment variable
		  function(expr1, ...)	  function call

       ".." indicates that the operations in this level can be concatenated.

       expr1
       -----
       expr2 {cmp} expr2

       Compare two expr2 expressions, resulting in a  0  if  it  evaluates  to
       false or 1 if it evaluates to true.

       equal	  ==
       not equal  !=
       greater than	       >
       greater than or equal   >=
       smaller than	       <
       smaller than or equal   <=

       Examples:
	'a' ==	'a'	    == 1
	'a' >	'b'	    == 1
	'a' ==	'b'	    == 0
	'2' >	'b'	    == 0
	 2  >	'b'	    == 1
	 2  >	'1b'	    == 1
	 2  >	'9b'	    == 0
	-1  == -'1'	    == 1
	 0  ==	'--1'	    == 1

       expr2
       -----
       expr3 . expr3 ..     string concatenation

       Examples:
	'a' . 'b'	    == 'ab'
	'aaa' . '' . 'c'    == 'aaac'

       expr3
       -----

       - expr3		    unary minus
       + expr3		    unary plus
       ! expr3		    logical NOT

       For '-' the sign of the number is changed.
       For '+' the number is unchanged.
       For '!' non-zero becomes zero, zero becomes one.

       A String will be converted to a Number first.

       These operations can be repeated and mixed.  Examples:
	 --9		    == 9
	---9		    == -9
	 -+9		    == 9
	 !-9		    == 0
	 !''		    == 1
	!'x'		    == 0
	 !!9		    == 1

       expr4
       -----

       number		    number constant
       -----

       Decimal number.	Examples:
	0		    == 0
	0000		    == 0
	01		    == 1
	123		    == 123
	10000		    == 10000

       string
       ------
       "string" 	    string constant

       Note that double quotes are used.

       A string constant accepts these special characters:
       \b      backspace <bs>
       \e      escape <esc>
       \n      newline
       \r      return <cr>
       \t      tab <tab>
       \\      backslash
       \"      double quote

       Examples:
	"\"Hello,\tWorld!\""
	"Hi,\nthere!"

       literal-string
       --------------
       ´string' 	    string constant

       Note that single quotes are used.

       This  string  is  taken as it is.  No backslashes are removed or have a
       special meaning.  The only exception is that two quotes stand  for  one
       quote.

       Examples:
	'All\slashes\are\saved.'
	'This string contains doubled single quotes ''here'''

       option
       ------
       &option		     option value

       Examples:
	 echo 'Terminal size: '.&columns.'x'.&lines
	 if &columns > 100
       Any  valid  option name can be used here (note that "all" in ":set all"
       is a pseudo option).  See ":set options" section above.

       environment variable
       --------------------
       $VAR		     environment variable

       The String value of any environment variable.  When it is not  defined,
       the result is an empty string.

       Examples:
	'This is my $PATH env: ' . $PATH
	'vifmrc at ' . $MYVIFMRC . ' is used.'

       function call
       -------------
       function(expr1, ...)  function call

       See Functions section below.

       Examples:
	"'" . filetype('.') . "'"
	filetype('.') == 'reg'

Functions
       USAGE		   RESULT	 DESCRIPTION

       executable({expr})   Integer	  Checks whether {expr} command avail‐
       able.
       expand({expr})	   String	 Expands special keywords in {expr}.
       filetype({fnum})    String	 Returns file type from position.
       has({property})	   Integer	 Checks whether  instance  has	{prop‐
       erty}.

       executable({expr})
       If {expr} is absolute or relative path, checks whether path destination
       exists and refers to an executable, otherwise  checks  whether  command
       named  {expr}  is  present  in directories listed in $PATH.  Checks for
       various	executable  extensions	on  Windows.   Returns	boolean  value
       describing result of the check.

       Example:
	 " use custom default viewer script if it's available and installed
	 " in predefined system directory, otherwise try to find it elsewhere
	 if executable('/usr/local/bin/defviewer')
	     fileview * /usr/local/bin/defviewer %c
	 else
	     if executable('defviewer')
		 fileview * defviewer %c
	     endif
	 endif

       expand({expr})
       Expands	environment variables and macros in {expr} just like it's done
       for command-line commands.  Returns a  string.	See  "Command  macros"
       section above.

       Examples:
	 " percent sign
	 :echo expand('%%')
	 " the last part of directory name of the other pane
	 :echo expand('%D:t')
	 " $PATH environment variable (same as `:echo $PATH`)
	 :echo expand('$PATH')

       filetype({fnum})
       The  result  is	a string, which represents file type and is one of the
       list:
	   exe	  executables
	   reg	  regular files
	   link   symbolic links
	   dir	  directories
	   char   character devices
	   block  block devices
	   fifo   pipes
	   sock   *nix domain sockets
	   ?	  unknown file type (should never appear)
       Parameter {fnum} can have following values:
	   - '.' to get type of file under the cursor in the active pane

       has({property})
       Allows examining internal parameters from scripts to  e.g.  figure  out
       environment  in which application is running.  Returns 1 if property is
       true/present, otherwise 0 is returned.  Currently the following proper‐
       ties are supported (anything else will yield 0):
	   unix  runs in *nix-like environment (including cygwin)
	   win	 runs on Windows

       Usage example:
	 " skip user/group on Windows
	 if !has('win')
	     let $RIGHTS = '%10u:%-7g '
	 endif

	 execute 'set' 'statusline="  %t%= %A '.$RIGHTS.'%15E %20d  "'

       Item states:

       - * - checked flag.

       - X - means that it has different value for files in selection.

       - d (*nix only) - (only for execute flags) means u-x+X, g-x+X or  o-x+X
	 argument  for the chmod program.  If you want to remove execute right
	 from all files, but preserve it  for  directories,  set  all  execute
	 flags to 'd' and check ´Set Recursively' flag.

Startup
       On  startup  vifm determines several variables that are used during the
       session.  They are determined in the order they appear below.

       On *nix systems $HOME is normally present and used as is.   On  Windows
       systems	vifm  tries  to  find  correct home directory in the following
       order:
	- $HOME variable;
	- $USERPROFILE variable;
	- a combination of $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH variables.

       vifm tries to find correct configuration directory by checking the fol‐
       lowing places:
	- $VIFM variable;
	- parent directory of the executable file (on Windows only);
	- $HOME/.vifm directory;
	- $APPDATA/Vifm directory (on Windows only).

       vifm tries to find correct configuration file by checking the following
       places:
	- $MYVIFMRC variable;
	- vifmrc in parent directory of the executable file (on Windows only);
	- $VIFM/vifmrc file.

Configure
       See Startup section above for the explanations on $VIFM and $MYVIFMRC.

       The vifmrc file	contains  commands  that  will	be  executed  on  vifm
       startup.   See $MYVIFMRC variable description for search algorithm used
       to find vifmrc.	Use it to set settings, mappings, filetypes  etc.   To
       use multi line commands precede each next line with a slash (whitespace
       before slash is ignored, but all spaces at the end  of  the  lines  are
       saved).	For example:
	 set
	     \smartcase
       equals "setsmartcase".  When
	 set<space here>
	     \ smartcase
       equals "set  smartcase".

       The  $VIFM/vifminfo file contains session settings.  You may edit it by
       hand to change the settings, but it's not recommended to do that,  edit
       vifmrc  instead.   You  can  control  what  settings  will  be saved in
       vifminfo by setting ´vifminfo' option.  Vifm always writes this file on
       exit  unless  'vifminfo'  option is empty.  Bookmarks, commands, histo‐
       ries, filetypes, fileviewers and registers in the file are merged  with
       vifm configuration (which has bigger priority).

       Generally,  runtime  configuration  has bigger priority during merging,
       but there are some exceptions:

       - directory stack stored in the file is not  overwritten  unless  some‐
	 thing is changed in vifm session that performs merge;

       - each  bookmark is marked with a timestamp, so that newer value is not
	 overwritten by older one, thus no matter from where  bookmark	comes,
	 the newer one wins.

       The  $VIFM/scripts  directory can contain shell scripts.  vifm modifies
       it's PATH environment variable to let user run  those  scripts  without
       specifying  full path.  All subdirectories of the $VIFM/scripts will be
       added to PATH too.  Script in a subdirectory overlaps script  with  the
       same name in all its parent directories.

       The $VIFM/colors directory contains color schemes.

Automatic FUSE mounts
       vifm has a builtin support of automated FUSE file system mounts.  It is
       implemented using file associations  mechanism.	 To  enable  automated
       mounts,	one needs to use a specially formated program line in filetype
       or filextype commands.  Currently two formats are supported:

       1) FUSE_MOUNT This format should be used in case when  all  information
       needed  for  mounting all files of a particular type is the same.  E.g.
       mounting of tar files don't require any file specific options.

       Format line:
	 FUSE_MOUNT|mounter %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR [%CLEAR]

       Example filetype command:
	 :filetype FUSE_MOUNT|fuse-zip %SOURCE_FILE %DESTINATION_DIR

       2) FUSE_MOUNT2 This format allows one to use specially formatted  files
       to  perform  mounting  and  is useful for mounting remotes, for example
       remote file systems over ftp or ssh.

       Format line:
	 FUSE_MOUNT2|mounter %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR [%CLEAR]

       Example filetype command:
	 :filetype FUSE_MOUNT2|sshfs %PARAM %DESTINATION_DIR

       Example file content:
	   root@127.0.0.1:/

       All % macros are expanded by vifm at runtime  and  have	the  following
       meaning:
	 - %SOURCE_FILE is replaced by full path to selected file
	 - %DESTINATION_DIR is replaced by full path to mount directory, which
       is created by vifm basing on the value of 'fusehome' option.
	 - %PARAM value is filled from the first line of  file	(whole	line),
       though in the future it can be changed to whole file content
	 -  %CLEAR  means  that  you want to clear screen before running mount
       command.

       %CLEAR is an optional macro.  Other macros are not mandatory, but mount
       commands likely won't work without them.

       The  mounted  FUSE  file systems will be automatically unmounted in two
       cases:

       - when vifm quits (with ZZ, :q, etc. or when killed by signal)

       - when you explicitly leave mount point going up to its	parent	direc‐
	 tory  (with  h,  Enter on "../" or ":cd ..") and other pane is not in
	 the same directory or its child directories.

View look
       vifm supports displaying of file list view in two different ways:

       - in a table mode, when multiple columns can be set using 'viewcolumns'
	 option (see Column view section below for details);

       - in  a multicolumn list manner which looks almost like `ls -x` command
	 output (see ls-like view section below for details).

       The look is local for each view and can be chosen by changing value  of
       the ´lsview' boolean option.

       Depending  on view look some of keys change their meaning to allow more
       natural cursor moving.  This concerns mainly h, j, k, l and other simi‐
       lar navigation keys.

       Also  some of options can be ignored if they don't affect view display‐
       ing in selected look.  For example value of 'viewcolumns' when 'lsview'
       is set.

ls-like view
       When this view look is enabled by setting 'lsview' option on, vifm will
       display files in multiple columns.  Number of columns  depends  on  the
       length  of  the	longest  file name present in current directory of the
       view.  Whole file list is automatically reflowed on  directory  change,
       terminal or view resize.

       View looks close to output of `ls -x` command, so files are listed left
       to right in rows.

       In this mode file manipulation commands (e.g. d) don't  work  line-wise
       like  they  do in Vim, since such operations would be uncommon for file
       manipulating tasks.  Thus, for example, dd  will  remove  only  current
       file.

Column view
       View columns are described by a comma-separated list of column descrip‐
       tions, each of which has the following format
	   [ '-' ] [ fw ( [ '.' tw ] | '%' ) ] '{' type '}' '.'{0,3}
       where fw stands for full width and tw stands for text width.

       So it basically consists of four parts:
	1. Optional alignment specifier
	2. Optional width specifier
	3. Mandatory column name
	4. Optional cropping specifier

       Alignment specifier

       It's an optional minus sign as the first symbol of the string.

       Specifies type of text alignment within a column.  Two types  are  sup‐
       ported:

       - left align
	      set viewcolumns=-{name}

       - right align (default)
	      set viewcolumns={name}

       Width specifier

       It's  a	number	followed  by  a  percent sign, two numbers (second one
       should be less than or equal to the first one) separated with a dot  or
       a single number.

       Specifies column width and its units. There are tree size types:

       - absolute size - column width is specified in characters
	      set viewcolumns=-100{name},20.15{ext}
	 results  in  two  columns  with  lengths of 100 and 20 and a reserved
	 space of five characters on the left of second column.

       - relative (percent) size - column width is specified  in  percents  of
	 view width
	      set viewcolumns=-80%{name},15%{ext},5%{mtime}
	 results  in three columns with lengths of 80/100, 15/100 and 5/100 of
	 view width.

       - auto size (default) - column width is automatically determined
	      set viewcolumns=-{name},{ext},{mtime}
	 results in three columns with length of  one  third  of  view	width.
	 There	is no size adjustment to content, since it will slow down ren‐
	 dering.

       Columns of different sizing types can be  freely  mixed	in  one  view.
       Though  sometimes  some	of columns can be seen partly or be completely
       invisible if there is not enough space to display them.

       Column name

       This is just a sort key surrounded with curly braces, e.g.
	   {name},{ext},{mtime}
       {name} and {iname} keys are the same and present both  for  consistency
       with ´sort' option.

       Empty  curly braces ({}) are replaced with the default secondary column
       for primary sort key. So after the next command view will be  displayed
       almost  as if 'viewcolumns' is empty, but adding ellipsis for long file
       names:
	   set viewcolumns=-{name}..,6{}.

       Cropping specifier

       It's from one to three dots after closing curly brace in column format.

       Specifies type of text truncation if it doesn't fit in the column. Cur‐
       rently tree types are supported:

       - truncation - text is truncated
	      set viewcolumns=-{name}.
	 results in truncation of names that are too long too fit in the view.

       - adding  of  ellipsis  -  ellipsis on the left or right are added when
	 needed
	      set viewcolumns=-{name}..
	 results in that ellipsis are added at the end of too long file names.

       - none (default) - text can pass column boundaries
	      set viewcolumns=-{name}...,{ext}
	 results in that long file names can partially be written on  the  ext
	 column.

Color schemes
       The color schemes in vifm can be applied in two different ways:

       - as the primary color scheme

       - as local to a panel color scheme

       Both  types are set using |vifm-:colorscheme| command, but of different
       forms:

       - :colorscheme color_scheme_name - for the primary color scheme

       - :colorscheme color_scheme_name directory - for local color schemes

       Look of different parts of the TUI (Text User Interface) is  determined
       in this way:

       - Border,  TopLineSel, TopLine, CmdLine, ErrorMsg, StatusLine and Wild‐
	 Menu are always determined by the primary color scheme

       - CurrLine, Selected, Directory, Link, BrokenLink, Socket, Device, Exe‐
	 cutable,  Fifo  and  Win are determined by primary color scheme and a
	 set of local color schemes, which can be empty

       There might be a set of local color schemes because they are structured
       hierarchically  according to file system structure. For example, having
       the following piece of file system:

	~
	`-- bin
	   |
	   `-- my

       Two color schemes:

	# ~/.vifm/colors/for_bin
	highlight Win cterm=none ctermfg=white ctermbg=red
	highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=red ctermbg=black

	# ~/.vifm/colors/for_bin_my
	highlight CurrLine cterm=none ctermfg=green ctermbg=black

       And these three commands in the vifmrc file:

	colorscheme Default
	colorscheme for_bin ~/bin
	colorscheme for_bin_my ~/bin/my

       File list will look in the following way for each level:

       - ~/ - Default color scheme
	 black background
	 cursor with blue background

       - ~/bin/ - mix of Default and for_bin color schemes
	 red background
	 cursor with black background and red foreground

       - ~/bin/my/ - mix of Default, for_bin and for_bin_my color schemes
	 red background
	 cursor with black background and green foreground

Trash directory
       vifm has support of trash directory, which is used as temporary storage
       for deleted files or files that were cut.  Using trash is controlled by
       the ´trash' option, and exact  path  to	the  trash  can  be  set  with
       'trashdir'  option.   Trash  directory in vifm differs from the system-
       wide one by default, because of possible incompatibilities  of  storing
       deleted	 files	among  different  file	managers.   But  one  can  set
       'trashdir' to "~/.local/share/Trash" to use a "standard"  trash	direc‐
       tory.

       There are two scenarios of using trash in vifm:

       1.  As  a  place  for  storing  files  that  were cut by "d" and may be
	   inserted to some other place in file system.

       2.  As a storage of files, that are deleted but not purged yet.

       The first scenario uses deletion ("d") operations to put files to trash
       and  put  ("p") operations to restore files from trash directory.  Note
       that such operations move files to and from trash directory, which  can
       be  long  term  operations  in  case  of different partitions or remote
       drives mounted locally.

       The second scenario uses deletion ("d") operations for moving files  to
       trash directory and :empty command-line command to purge all previously
       deleted files.

       Deletion and put operations depend on registers,  which	can  point  to
       files  in trash directory.  Normally, there are no nonexistent files in
       registers, but vifm doesn't keep track  of  modifications  under  trash
       directory,  so one shouldn't expect value of registers to be absolutely
       correct if trash directory was modified not by operation that are meant
       for  it.  But this won't lead to any issues with operations, since they
       ignore nonexistent files.

Client-Server
       vifm supports remote execution of command-line mode commands as well as
       remote  changing  of directories.  This is possible using --remote com‐
       mand-line argument.

       To execute a command remotely combine --remote argument with  -c  <com‐
       mand> or +<command>.  For example:
	   vifm --remote -c 'cd /'
	   vifm --remote '+cd /'

       To  change directory not using command-line mode commands one can spec‐
       ify paths right after --remote argument, like this:
	   vifm --remote /
	   vifm --remote ~
	   vifm --remote /usr/bin /tmp

       At the moment there is no way of specifying,  which  instance  of  vifm
       should  arguments be sent.  The main purpose of --remote argument is to
       provide support of using vifm as a single-instance application.

Plugin
       Plugin for using vifm in vim as a file selector.

       Commands:

	 :EditVifm   select a file or files to open in the current buffer.
	 :SplitVifm  split buffer and select a file or files to open.
	 :VsplitVifm vertically split buffer and select a  file  or  files  to
       open.
	 :DiffVifm    select  a  file  or files to compare to the current file
       with
		     :vert diffsplit.
	 :TabVifm    select a file or files to open in tabs.

       Each command accepts up to two arguments: left pane directory and right
       pane  directory.   After arguments are checked, vifm process is spawned
       in a special "file-picker" mode.  To pick files just open  them	either
       by  pressing  l,  i  or Enter keys, or by running :edit command.  If no
       files are selected, file under the cursor is  opened,  otherwise  whole
       selection is passed to the plugin and opened in vim.

       The  plugin  have  only	two  settings.	 It's  a string variable named
       g:vifm_term to let user	specify  command  to  run  gui	terminal.   By
       default	it's  equal  to ´xterm -e'.  And another string variable named
       g:vifm_exec, which equals "vifm"  by  default  and  specifies  path  to
       vifm's  executable.   To  pass  arguments to vifm use g:vifm_exec_args,
       which is empty by default.

       To use the plugin copy the vifm.vim file  to  either  the  system  wide
       vim/plugin directory or into ~/.vim/plugin.

       If  you would prefer not to use the plugin and it is in the system wide
       plugin directory add

       let loaded_vifm=1

       to your ~/.vimrc file.

Reserved
       The following command names are reserved and shouldn't be used for user
       commands.

	 g[lobal]
	 v[global]

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       VIFM   Points to main configuration directory (usually ~/.vifm/).

       MYVIFMRC
	      Points to main configuration file (usually ~/.vifm/vifmrc).

       These  environment variables are valid inside vifm and also can be used
       to configure it by setting some of them before running vifm.

       When $MYVIFMRC isn't set, it's made as $VIFM/vifmrc (exception for Win‐
       dows: vifmrc in the same directory as vifm.exe has higher priority than
       $VIFM/vifmrc).

       See Startup section above for more details.
