z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

vi
[.,.] l[ist] [count] [flags]
Displays the line range in a visually unambiguous manner. This command
displays tabs as ^I, and the end of lines as $. The only useful flag is #, for
line numbering. The current line indicator points to the last line displayed.
map[!] lhs rhs
This defines macros for use in vi. The lhs is a string of characters;
whenever that string is typed exactly, vi behaves as if the string rhs had
been typed. If lhs is more than one character long, none of the characters
are echoed or acted on until either a character is typed that isn’t in the lhs
(in which case all the characters up to that point in the lhs are run) or the
last character of lhs is typed. If the variable remap is set, rhs itself can
contain macros. If the flag ! is specified, the map applies within vi INSERT
mode; otherwise it applies to command mode. A map command with no
arguments lists all macros currently defined.
[.] ma[rk] x
Records the specified line as being marked with the single lowercase letter
x. The line can then be addressed at any point as ’x.
[.,.] m[ove] [addr] [flags]
Moves the specified line range after the addr given. If addr is zero, the text
is moved to the start of the file. The current line indicator is set to the last
line moved.
n[ext][!] [+command] [file ...]
Begins editing the next file in the file list (where the file list was either
specified on the command line or in a previous next command). If the
current file has been modified since the last write, ex usually prevents you
from leaving the current file. You can get around this by specifying an
exclamation mark (!). If the autowrite is set, the current file is written
automatically and you go to the next file. If a list of files is specified, they
become the new file list. If necessary, expressions in this list are expanded.
Thus:
next *.c
sets the file list to all the files in the current directory with names ending in
.c (typically C source files).
[.,.] nu[mber] [count] [flags]
[.,.] # [count] [flags]
Displays the specified line range with leading line numbers. The current line
indicator points to the last line displayed.
[.] o[pen] [pat] [flags]
Enters open mode, which is simply vi mode with a oneline window. If a
match is found for the regular expression pat in the specified line, then the
cursor is placed at the start of the matching pattern.
pre[serve]
Saves the current buffer in a form that can later be recovered using the –r
option on the recover command. vi sends you mail telling you that you can
recover this file and explains how to do so.
[.,.] p[rint] [count] [flags]
Displays the specified line range. The current line indicator points to the last
line displayed.
