MC(1)MC(1)

NAME
mc – multicolumn print

SYNOPSIS
mc [ ] [ N ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
Mc splits the input into as many columns as will fit in N print positions. If run in a 9term(1), xterm(1), or acme(1) window, the default N is the number of blanks that will fit across the window; otherwise the default N is 80. Under option each input line ending in a colon : is printed separately.

SEE ALSO
9term(1), acme(1), acme(4), xterm(1), pr(1), lc in ls(1)

BUGS
On systems with high-DPI screens, 9term and acme do not have one current font. They have a pair of current fonts, one font used when the window on a low-DPI screen and one used when the window is on a high-DPI screen. Mc always uses the low-DPI font for columnation decisions.
