.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a text editor based on Vim.
|
|
To enter commands in
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
type a colon
|
|
.Pq Sq \&:
|
|
which is also used in this manual to denote commands.
|
|
For more information, consult the on-line help system with the
|
|
.Ic :help
|
|
command.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Ar file ...
|
|
File(s) to edit.
|
|
If none are specified, open an empty buffer.
|
|
If multiple files are specified, open one buffer for each file.
|
|
To switch between buffers, use the
|
|
.Ic :next
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic :previous
|
|
commands.
|
|
.It Fl
|
|
Read text from standard input until

.Dv EOF ,
|
|
then open a buffer with that text.
|
|
Commands are read from standard error, which should be a terminal.
|
|
.It Fl t Ar tag
|
|
The file to edit and the initial cursor position depends on a
|
|
tag, a sort of goto label.
|
|
.Ar tag
|
|
is looked up in the tags file, the associated file becomes the current
|
|
file and the associated command is executed.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar tag
|
|
is a function name, the file containing that function is opened
|
|
with the cursor positioned at the start of the function.

|

.Ic :help tag-commands .
