cvi - (change-vi) adds change-bars when updating documents

SYNOPSIS

cvi [-v] filename

DESCRIPTION

cvi is a program that can be used to edit files and keep track of updates to those files. Initially, a user may use vi or cvi to edit a file. cvi can then be used on subsequent edits if the original file needs to be updated. After editing, the updated file is saved with the original file name -and contains change-bars. The original file is saved with a revision number appended to the file name. Thus, a user can keep a history of all changes made to a file.

OPTIONS

-v (verbose) When this option is used, any deletions in a file will be marked with a deletion notice. A deletion notice displays the line number(s) of text that was deleted from the privious revision of a file.
