Using the UNIX “vi” Editor
This section is not intended to be a complete tutorial on vi, but rather a very
basic overview. You should have a general understanding of how the vi
editor works before using it.
The
vi
command displays a file and allows you to alter it. To open the file with read-
only access, type
view [Enter]
. Basic use of the vi editor is as follows:
1. At either the
[NETLINK]
or
#
prompt, type
vi (filename) [Enter]
or
vedit (filename)
[Enter]
(which will display helpful information along with the file, such as the
current edit mode; e.g., insert, delete).
2. Use the arrows on the keyboard to move the cursor. Once the cursor is where you
want it:
●
To insert text before the character at the cursor,
type
i(text) [Esc]
(with no spaces between i and the desired text).
●
To delete the character at the cursor,
press
x
.
●
To replace the character at the cursor with another character,
type
r
(newchar) (with no spaces between
r
and the new character).
●
To replace the character at the cursor with a string of text,
type
s (text) [Esc]
(with no spaces between
s
and the new text).
3. To exit the file (whether or not changes have been made), press
[:]
.
4. To save any changes and exit, type
wq! [Enter]
.
5. To exit without saving changes, type
q! [Enter]
.
