\fIcmd\fR will be executed after the first

spaces it must be enclosed in double quotes
(this depends on the shell that is used).
.Ip "\fB\-f\fR \fIscript\fR" 4
.IX Item "\fB\-f\fR \fIscript\fR"
This command provides a means for collecting a series of \*(L"ex\*(R"
(colon) commands into a script file, then using this file to edit
other files. Since there is no binary stream editor \*(L"bsed\*(R", you
can use this option to make several global changes in a binary file.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Bvi stands for \*(L"Binary VIsual editor\*(R".
Bvi is a screen oriented editor for binary files;
its command set is based on that of the \fIvi\fR\|(1) text editor.
As a binary editor does not have the concept of \*(L"lines\*(R"
there are differences from Vi commands wherever the latter are
line orientate.
.SH "COMPARISON"
.IX Header "COMPARISON"
The main differences between Vi and Bvi are:
.PP
The screen is divided in three sections or panes:
The byte offset (extreme left), the hex pane (middle),
and an ascii pane (right) which shows as printable characters
those bytes in the hex pane.
On an 80 column terminal there will be sixteen hex values
and their ASCII values on each screen line.
Note that (as one would expect) the first byte has the offset \*(L'0\*(R' (zero).
.PP
You can toggle between the hex and ascii windows with the tab key (TAB).
Toggling between these two windows does not change the current
position (offset) within the file.
.PP
No \*(L"lines\*(R" concept:
Files are treated as one long stream of bytes. The characters
\*(L"newline\*(R" and \*(L"carriage return\*(R" are not special, id est they
never mark the end of lines. Therefore the lines on the screen do not
represent lines in the usual way. Data is broken across screen lines
arbitarily.
As a consequence there are no commands in bvi from ex or vi
that are based on line numbers, eg \*(L"dd\*(R", \*(L"yy\*(R", \*(L'C\*(R', \*(L'S\*(R', \*(L'o\*(R', \*(L'O\*(R'.
This also changes the meaning of \*(L"range\*(R" before the \*(L":write\*(R" command
to a byte offset, ie the command \*(L":100,200w foo\*(R" writes all *bytes*
(not lines) from offset 100 to offset 200 to the file \*(L"foo\*(R".
.PP
No \*(L"text objects":
There are also no text-specific arrangements like words,
paragraphs, sentences, sections and so on.
.PP
Extended \*(L"ruler":
The bottom line of the screen shows the current address (byte offset)
and the current character in these notations:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& octal, hexadecimal, decimal and ascii.
.Ve
Search patterns:
All search commands understand these special characters:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& . any character
\& [] set of characters
\& * zero or more occurrences of previous char or set
.Ve
But as there is no concept of lines you cannot use the standard symbols
("anchors") for \*(L"begin-of-line\*(R" ('^') and \*(L"end-of-line\*(R" ('$').
Searching for the start/end of lines must be done explicitly
by adding these special characters to your search pattern
using these meta sequences:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& \en newline
\& \er return
\& \et tab
\& \e0 binary zero
.Ve
Additional search commands:
Similar to the text search commands there are additional hex-search
functions \*(L'\e\*(R' and \*(L'#\*(R' which allow to search for any byte value.
Example: \*(L"\e62 76 69\*(R" will search for the string \*(L"bvi\*(R".
Spaces between hex value are optional, so searching
for \*(L"6775636B6573\*(R" will find \*(L"guckes\*(R".
.PP
Changing the length of data (insertion, deletion) moves the data to other addresses;
this is bad for many cases (eg. databases, program files) and is
thus disabled by default. You can enable this commands by typing
.PP
\f(CW :set memmove\fR
.PP
\fBBVI Modes:\fR
.PP
Command Mode (Normal Mode):
.PP
Input is treated as command. Note that command mode is the default
mode after startup and after escaping from input mode.
Use ESC (escape) to cancel a partial (uncompleted) command.
.PP
Input Mode:
.PP
Input is treated as replacement of current characters or
(after the end of the file) is appended
to the current file. This mode is entered from command mode by
typing one of \*(L'i\*(R', \*(L'I\*(R', \*(L'A\*(R', \*(L'r\*(R', or \*(L'R\*(R'.
You can enter the characters from the keyboard (in the ASCII window) or
hexadecimal values (in the HEX window).
Type TAB to switch between these two windows.
Type ESC to finish the current input and return to command mode.
Type CTRL\-C to cancel current command abnormally.
.PP
Command line mode (Last Line Mode or : mode):
.PP
Similar to vi, this mode is entered by typing one of the
characters
: / ? \e # !
The command is terminated and executed by typing a carriage
return; to cancel a partially typed command, type
ESC to cancel the current command and return to command mode.
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.IX Header "ENVIRONMENT"
The editor recognizes the environment variable BVIINIT as a
command (or list of commands) to run when it starts up. If
this variable is undefined, the editor checks for startup
commands in the file \fI~/.bvirc\fR file, which you must own.
However, if there is a \fI.bvirc\fR owned by you in the current
directory, the editor takes its startup commands from this
file \- overriding both the file in your home directory and
the environment variable.
.SH "TERMINOLOGY"

Abbr. ASCII name aka
CR 010 carriage return
^A 001 control-a
^H 008 control-h

read-only ("forced\*(R" write)
:q quit when no changes have been made
:q! quit and discard all changes
:e \fIfile\fR edit \fIfile\fR

:w! \fIfile\fR write current buffer to \fIfile\fR overriding
read-only (this \*(L"overwrites\*(R" the file)
:sh run the command as set with option \*(L"shell\*(R",
then return
:!\fIcmd\fR run the command \fIcmd\fR from \*(L"shell\*(R", then
return
:n edit next file in the argument list
:f show current filename, modified flag,
current byte offset, and percentage of
current position within buffer
^G same as :f
.PP
\fBAdditional edit commands\fR
You can insert/append/change bytes in ASCII/binary/decimal/
hexadecimal or octal representation. You can enter several
(screen) lines of input. A line with only a period (.) in it
will terminate the command. You must not type in values greater
than a byte value. This causes an abandonment of the command.
Pressing the CR key does not insert a newline \- character into
the file. If you use ASCII mode you can use the special characters
\en, \er, \et and \e0.
