 CVI(1)                                                               CVI(1)




 NAME
      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.

 FILES
      /usr/contrib/bin/cvi or /opt/hppd/bin/cvi
