54 54 DESCRIPTION
55 55 The vi (visual) utility is a display-oriented text editor based on an
56 56 underlying line editor ex. It is possible to use the command mode of ex
57 57 from within vi and to use the command mode of vi from within ex. The
58 58 visual commands are described on this manual page; how to set options
59 59 (like automatically numbering lines and automatically starting a new
60 60 output line when you type carriage return) and all ex line editor
61 61 commands are described on the ex(1) manual page.
62 62
63 63
64 64 When using vi, changes you make to the file are reflected in what you
65 65 see on your terminal screen. The position of the cursor on the screen
66 66 indicates the position within the file.

69 69 The view invocation is the same as vi except that the readonly flag is
70 70 set.
71 71
72 72
73 73 The vedit invocation is intended for beginners. It is the same as vi
74 74 except that the report flag is set to 1, the showmode and novice flags
75 75 are set, and magic is turned off. These defaults make it easier to
76 76 learn how to use vi.
77 77
78 78 OPTIONS
79 - The following options are supporrted:
79 + The following options are supported:
80 80
81 81 Invocation Options
82 82 The following invocation options are interpreted by vi (previously
83 83 documented options are discussed under NOTES):
84 84
85 85 - | -s
86 86 Suppresses all interactive user feedback. This
87 87 is useful when processing editor scripts.
88 88
89 89
90 90 -C
91 91 Encryption option. Same as the -x option,
92 92 except that vi simulates the C command of ex.
93 93 The C command is like the X command of ex,
94 94 except that all text read in is assumed to
95 95 have been encrypted.
96 96
97 97
98 98 -l
99 99 Sets up for editing LISP programs.
100 100
101 101
102 102 -L
103 103 Lists the name of all files saved as the
104 104 result of an editor or system crash.
105 105
106 106
107 107 -r filename
108 108 Edits filename after an editor or system
109 109 crash. (Recovers the version of filename that
110 110 was in the buffer when the crash occurred.)
111 111
112 112
113 113 -R
114 114 Readonly mode. The readonly flag is set,
115 115 preventing accidental overwriting of the file.
116 116
117 117
118 118 -S
119 119 This option is used in conjunction with the -t
120 120 tag option to tell vi that the tags file can
121 121 not be sorted and that, if the binary search
122 122 (which relies on a sorted tags file) for tag
123 123 fails to find it, the much slower linear
124 124 search should also be done. Since the linear
125 125 search is slow, users of large tags files
126 126 should ensure that the tags files are sorted
127 127 rather than use this flag. Creation of tags
128 128 files normally produces sorted tags files.
129 129 See ctags(1) for more information on tags
130 130 files.
131 131
132 132
133 133 -t tag
134 134 Edits the file containing tag and position the
135 135 editor at its definition. It is an error to
136 136 specify more than one -t option.
137 137
138 138
139 139 -v
140 140 Starts up in display editing state, using vi.
141 141 You can achieve the same effect by typing the
142 142 vi command itself.
143 143
144 144
145 145 -V
146 146 Verbose. When ex commands are read by means of
147 147 standard input, the input is echoed to
148 148 standard error. This can be useful when
149 149 processing ex commands within shell scripts.
150 150
151 151
152 152 -wn
153 153 Sets the default window size to n. This is
154 154 useful when using the editor over a slow speed
155 155 line.
156 156
157 157
158 158 -x
159 159 Encryption option. When used, vi simulates the
160 160 X command of ex and prompts the user for a
161 161 key. This key is used to encrypt and decrypt
162 162 text using the algorithm of the crypt command.
163 163 The X command makes an educated guess to
164 164 determine whether text read in is encrypted or
165 165 not. The temporary buffer file is encrypted
166 166 also, using a transformed version of the key
167 167 typed in for the -x option. If an empty
168 168 encryption key is entered (that is, if the
169 169 return key is pressed right after the prompt),
170 170 the file is not encrypted. This is a good way
171 171 to decrypt a file erroneously encrypted with a
172 172 mistyped encryption key, such as a backspace
173 173 or undo key.

176 176 -command | -c command
177 177 Begins editing by executing the specified
178 178 editor command (usually a search or
179 179 positioning command).
180 180
181 181
182 182 /usr/xpg4/bin/vi and /usr/xpg6/bin/vi
183 183 If both the -t tag and the -c command options are given, the -t tag
184 - optionis processed first. That is, the file containing tag is selected
184 + option is processed first. That is, the file containing tag is selected
185 185 by -t and then the command is executed.
186 186
187 187 OPERANDS
188 188 The following operands are supported:
189 189
190 190 filename
191 191 A file to be edited.

194 194 COMMAND SUMMARY
195 195 The vi command modes are summarized in this section.
196 196
197 197 vi Modes
198 198 Command
199 199 Normal and initial mode. Other modes return to command
200 200 mode upon completion. ESC (escape) is used to cancel a
201 201 partial command.
202 202
203 203
204 204 Input
205 205 Entered by setting any of the following options:
206 206
207 207 a A i I o O c C s S R
208 208
209 209
210 210 Arbitrary text can then be entered. Input mode is normally
211 211 terminated with the ESC character, or, abnormally, with an
212 212 interrupt.
213 213
214 214
215 215 Last line
216 216 Reading input for : / ? or !. Terminate by typing a
217 217 carriage return. An interrupt cancels termination.
218 218
219 219

744 744 Operators are followed by a cursor motion and affect all text that
745 745 would have been moved over. For example, since w moves over a word, dw
746 746 deletes the word that would be moved over. Double the operator, for
747 747 example dd, to affect whole lines.

937 937 AUTHOR
938 938 vi and ex were developed by The University of California, Berkeley
939 939 California, Computer Science Division, Department of Electrical
940 940 Engineering and Computer Science.
941 941
942 942 NOTES
943 943 Two options, although they continue to be supported, have been replaced
944 944 in the documentation by options that follow the Command Syntax Standard
945 945 (see Intro(1)). An -r option that is not followed with an option-
946 946 argument has been replaced by -L and +command has been replaced by -c
947 947 command.
948 948
949 949
950 950 The message file too large to recover with -r option, which is seen
951 951 when a file is loaded, indicates that the file can be edited and saved
952 952 successfully, but if the editing session is lost, recovery of the file
953 953 with the -r option is not possible.
954 954
955 955
956 956 The editing environment defaults to certain configuration options. When
957 957 an editing session is initiated, vi attempts to read the EXINIT
958 958 environment variable. If it exists, the editor uses the values defined
959 959 in EXINIT; otherwise the values set in $HOME/.exrc are used. If
960 960 $HOME/.exrc does not exist, the default values are used.
961 961
962 962
963 963 To use a copy of .exrc located in the current directory other than
964 964 $HOME, set the exrc option in EXINIT or $HOME/.exrc. Options set in
965 965 EXINIT can be turned off in a local .exrc only if exrc is set in EXINIT
966 966 or $HOME/.exrc. In order to be used, .exrc in $HOME or the current
967 967 directory must fulfill these conditions:
968 968
969 969 o It must exist.
970 970
971 971 o It must be owned by the same userid as the real userid of
972 972 the process, or the process has appropriate privileges.
973 973
974 974 o It is not writable by anyone other than the owner.
975 975
976 976
977 977 Tampering with entries in /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/* or
978 978 /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/* (for example, changing or removing an
979 979 entry) can affect programs such as vi that expect the entry to be
980 980 present and correct. In particular, removing the "dumb" terminal can
981 981 cause unexpected problems.
982 982
983 983
984 984 Software tabs using ^T work only immediately after the autoindent.
985 985
986 986
987 987 Left and right shifts on intelligent terminals do not make use of
988 988 insert and delete character operations in the terminal.
989 989
990 990
991 991 Loading an alternate malloc() library using the environment variable
992 992 LD_PRELOAD can cause problems for /usr/bin/vi.
993 993
994 994
995 995 The vi utility currently has the following limitations:
996 996
997 997 1. Lines, including the trailing NEWLINE character, can contain
998 998 no more than 4096 bytes.
999 999
1000 1000 If a longer line is found, Line too long is displayed in the
1001 1001 status line.
1002 1002
1003 1003 2. The editor's temporary work file can be no larger than
1004 1004 128Mb.
1005 1005
1006 1006 If a larger temporary file is needed, Tmp file too large is
1007 1007 displayed in the status line.
