.Sh NAME
.Nm pkgvi
.Nd run editor and make backup of given file if necessary
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op +command
.Ar file
.Op Ar file ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility runs the user's favourite editor on a copy of specified file.
If no changes are made in the editor, nothing happens.
Else the original file is kept as
.Pa filename.orig ,
and the modified file is saved as
.Pa filename .
If
.Nm
finds
.Pa filename.orig ,
it behaves as normal editor and changes are only made to
.Pa filename ,
not affecting
.Pa filename.orig .
In both cases
.Nm
ensures that the file to be edited is writable by the user.
.Pp
Available option:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Cm +command
This option is passed unmodified as first argument to the editor.
This is useful when the editor used is
.Xr vi 1 .
.El
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Nm
uses
.Ev PKGEDITOR
if defined, then it looks for
.Ev EDITOR ,
if neither is defined, it uses
.Xr vi 1 .
.Sh SEE ALSO
