NAME

vp — run commands interactively

SYNOPSIS

DESCIPTION

vp opens vi(1) with two custom key mappings, defined in /usr/local/etc/vprc:

g

Execute the buffer as a shell command and append the output to the buffer with each line beginning with ‘# ’. Lines beginning with ‘#’ are ignored by g.

q

Remove any lines not beginning with ‘#’ and remove the ‘# ’ prefix from all remaining lines.

These mappings are useful for interactively testing shell commands. Any arguments given to vp are passed on to vi(1).
