GNU moe is a console text editor for ISO-8859 and ASCII character encodings.
It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, online help, multiple windows,
global search/replace (on all buffers at once), block operations, automatic
indentation, word wrapping, file name completion, directory browser,
duplicate removal from prompt histories, delimiter matching, text conversion
from/to UTF-8, romanization, etc. The file size, line length, number of
buffers, and undo/redo capability are only limited by the amount of memory
available and the size of the address space of your machine.

Moe respects your work. By default it won't automatically add, change, or
remove a single byte in your files. Moe is a WYTIWYG (what you type is what
you get) editor.

Moe can easily edit thousands of files at the same time.

Usage: moe [global_options] [[+[line[,col]]] file_name [file_options]]...

'global_options' are a mix of editor options and default 'file_options'.
Most long option names have a negative form: '--backup' '--no-backup'.

Each file name may be preceded by '+[line[,column]]' to start the cursor
at the line, and optionally column, specified. 'line' and 'column' are
applied to subsequent files until new values are specified for them.
A '+' alone puts the cursor at end-of-buffer.

A hyphen '-' used as a file name argument means standard input.
Directories are recursively descended into.

Editor options:
  -h, --help               display this help and exit
  -V, --version            output version information and exit
  -b, --backup             create backup files (default)
  -B, --no-backup          don't create backup files
  -e, --exit-ask           make save-and-close ask always for confirmation
  -H, --smart-home         go home, then go to first non-blank character
  -i, --ignore-case        make search case insensitive by default
  -k, --keep-lines=<n>     number of lines to keep for PgUp/PgDn
  -m, --max-windows=<n>    max number of windows to show at once
  -n, --indent-step=<n>    number of spaces to add when indenting a block
  -p, --preserve-links     preserve (don't break) links when saving files
  -s, --search-wrap        make search wrap at end of file
  -u, --auto-unmark        turn off highlighting after any block operation
  -x, --rectangle          rectangular block mode

File options:
  -a, --auto-indent        enable auto indent
  -l, --lmargin=<col>      set left margin
  -r, --rmargin=<col>      set right margin
  -o, --read-only          make buffer read-only
  -O, --overwrite          disable insert mode
  -w, --word-wrap          enable word wrapping
  -W, --no-word-wrap       disable word wrapping
  -2, --two-spaces         make reformat put two spaces after period

*Exit status*
0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (invalid command-line
options, I/O errors, etc), 2 to indicate an invalid or unreadable input
file, 3 for an internal consistency error (e.g., bug) which caused moe to
panic.
