- --help *-h* *--help*
- -h Give usage (help) message and exit. {not in Vi}
- + See |info-message| about capturing the text.
-
- *--version*
- --version Print version information and exit. Same output as for
- |:version| command. {not in Vi}
- + See |info-message| about capturing the text.
-
- *--noplugin*
- --noplugin Skip loading plugins. Resets the 'loadplugins' option.

- redrawn in any way. To see the message again, use the ":intro" command (if
- there is not enough room, you will see only part of it).
- To avoid the intro message on startup, add the 'I' flag to 'shortmess'.
- +
- + *info-message*
- + The |--help| and |--version| arguments cause Vim to print a message and then
- + exit. Normally the message is send to stdout, thus can be redirected to a
- + file with: >
- +
- + vim --help >file
- +
- + From inside Vim: >
- +
- + :read !vim --help
- +
- + When using gvim, it detects that it might have been started from the desktop,
- + without a terminal to show messages on. This is detected when both stdout and
- + stderr are not a tty. This breaks the ":read" command, as used in the example
- + above. To make it work again, set 'shellredir' to ">" instead of the default
- + ">&": >
- +
- + :set shellredir=>
- + :read !gvim --help
- +
- + This still won't work for systems where gvim does not use stdout at all
- + though.
