TE(1)                        BSD Reference Manual                        TE(1)

NAME
     te - TECO text editor

SYNOPSIS
     te [filename]

DESCRIPTION
     te is an implementation of TECO written in C.

     te implements DEC standard TECO, with some exceptions described below,
     plus some extensions.

     te assumes a VT100-type terminal, and its display driver is hard-coded
     for such.

DOCUMENTATION
     The DEC Standard TECO book describes the basic editing functions of TECO.

FILES
     ~/.tecorc      editor startup file
     <file>.tmp     temporary output file(s)
     <file>.bak     previous version of edited file
     /usr/share/misc/termcap
                    describes terminal (used only to find width of VT100)

BUGS
     te acquires memory for its buffer using malloc(), but never returns the
     space.  This can cause the task in memory to appear to be larger than it
     is.

     Several of the standard display features of TECO, most notably the
     -256+n:W command used by interpretive editing macros, are unimplemented.
     There are undoubtedly some subtle bugs in the display handler for the
     features that are implemented.
