- NAME
- elvis, ex, vi - The editor
- SYNOPSIS
- elvis [flags] [+cmd] [files...]
- DESCRIPTION
- Elvis is a text editor which emulates vi/ex.
- On systems which pass the program name as an argument, such as Unix and
- Minix, you may also install elvis under the names "ex", "vi", "view", and
- "input". These extra names would normally be links to elvis; see the
- "ln" shell command.
- When elvis is invoked as "vi", it behaves exactly as though it was
- invoked as "elvis". However, if you invoke elvis as "view", then the
- readonly option is set as though you had given it the "-R" flag. If you
- invoke elvis as "ex", then elvis will start up in the colon command mode
- instead of the visual command mode, as though you had given it the "-e"
- flag. If you invoke elvis as "input" or "edit", then elvis will start up
- in input mode, as though the "-i" flag was given.
- OPTIONS
- -r To the real vi, this flag means that a previous edit should be
- recovered. Elvis, though, has a separate program, called elvrec(1),
- for recovering files. When you invoke elvis with -r, elvis will
- tell you to run elvrec.
- -R This sets the "readonly" option, so you won't accidentally overwrite
- a file.
- -t tag
- This causes elvis to start editing at the given tag.
- -m [file]
- Elvis will search through file for something that looks like an
- error message from a compiler. It will then begin editing the
- source file that caused the error, with the cursor sitting on the
- line where the error was detected. If you don't explicitly name a
- file, then "errlist" is assumed.
- -e Elvis will start up in colon command mode.
- -v Elvis will start up in visual command mode.
- -i Elvis will start up in input mode.

- -w winsize
- Sets the "window" option's value to winsize.
- +command or -c command
- If you use the +command parameter, then after the first file is
- loaded command is executed as an EX command. A typical example
- would be "elvis +237 foo", which would cause elvis to start editing
- foo and then move directly to line 237. The "-c command" variant
- was added for UNIX SysV compatibility.
- FILES
- /tmp/elv*
- During editing, elvis stores text in a temporary file. For UNIX,
- this file will usually be stored in the /tmp directory, and the
- first three characters will be "elv". For other systems, the
- temporary files may be stored someplace else; see the version-
- specific section of the documentation.
- tags This is the database used by the :tags command and the -t option.
- It is usually created by the ctags(1) program.
- .exrc or elvis.rc
- On UNIX-like systems, a file called ".exrc" in your home directory
- is executed as a series of ex commands. A file by the same name may
- be executed in the current directory, too. On non-UNIX systems,
- ".exrc" is usually an invalid file name; there, the initialization
- file is called "elvis.rc" instead.
- SEE ALSO
- ctags(1), ref(1), virec(1), elvis(9).

- BUGS
- There is no LISP support. Certain other features are missing, too.
- Auto-indent mode is not quite compatible with the real vi. Among other
- things, 0^D and ^^D don't do what you might expect.
- Long lines are displayed differently. The real vi wraps long lines onto
- multiple rows of the screen, but elvis scrolls sideways.

- Many other people have worked to port elvis to various operating systems.
- To see who deserves credit, run the :version command from within elvis,
- or look in the system-specific section of the complete documentation.
