gview(1) - Vi IMproved, a programmers text editor
-t {tag}    The  file  to  edit and the initial cursor position depends on a "tag", a sort of goto label.
            {tag} is looked up in the tags file, the associated file becomes the  current  file  and  the
            associated  command  is  executed.   Mostly  this is used for C programs, in which case {tag}
            could be a function name.  The effect is that the file containing that function  becomes  the
            current  file  and  the  cursor  is  positioned  on  the  start  of the function.  See ":help
            tag-commands".
-q [errorfile]
            Start in quickFix mode.  The file [errorfile] is read and the first error is  displayed.   If
            [errorfile]  is  omitted,  the  filename is obtained from the 'errorfile' option (defaults to
            "AztecC.Err" for the Amiga, "errors.err" on other systems).  Further errors can be jumped  to
            with the ":cn" command.  See ":help quickfix".
-c {command}
            {command} will be executed after the first file has been read.  {command} is  interpreted  as
            an  Ex  command.  If the {command} contains spaces it must be enclosed in double quotes (this
            depends on the shell that is used).  Example: Vim "+set si" main.c
            Note: You can use up to 10 "+" or "-c" commands.
-S {file}   {file} will be sourced after the first file has been read.  This is equivalent to -c  "source
            {file}".   {file}  cannot  start  with '-'.  If {file} is omitted "Session.vim" is used (only
            works when -S is the last argument).
--cmd {command}
            Like using "-c", but the command is executed just before processing any vimrc file.  You  can
            use up to 10 of these commands, independently from "-c" commands.
-A          If  Vim  has  been  compiled with ARABIC support for editing right-to-left oriented files and
            Arabic keyboard mapping, this option starts  Vim  in  Arabic  mode,  i.e.  'arabic'  is  set.
            Otherwise an error message is given and Vim aborts.
-b          Binary mode.  A few options will be set that makes it possible to edit a binary or executable
            file.
-C          Compatible.  Set the 'compatible' option.  This will make Vim behave  mostly  like  Vi,  even
            though a .vimrc file exists.
-d          Start  in  diff mode.  There should be two, three or four file name arguments.  Vim will open
            all the files and show differences between them.  Works like vimdiff(1).

-d {device} Open {device} for use as a terminal.  Only on the Amiga.  Example: "-d con:20/30/600/150".
-D          Debugging.  Go to debugging mode when executing the first command from a script.
-e          Start Vim in Ex mode, just like the executable was called "ex".
-E          Start Vim in improved Ex mode, just like the executable was called "exim".
-f          Foreground.  For the GUI version, Vim will not fork and detach from the shell it was  started
            in.   On  the  Amiga,  Vim is not restarted to open a new window.  This option should be used
            when Vim is executed by a program that will wait for the edit session to finish (e.g.  mail).
            On the Amiga the ":sh" and ":!" commands will not work.
--nofork    Foreground.   For the GUI version, Vim will not fork and detach from the shell it was started
            in.
-F          If Vim has been compiled with FKMAP support for  editing  right-to-left  oriented  files  and
            Farsi  keyboard  mapping,  this option starts Vim in Farsi mode, i.e. 'fkmap' and 'rightleft'
            are set.  Otherwise an error message is given and Vim aborts.
-g          If Vim has been compiled with GUI support, this option enables the GUI.  If  no  GUI  support
            was compiled in, an error message is given and Vim aborts.
-h          Give a bit of help about the command line arguments and options.  After this Vim exits.
-H          If  Vim has been compiled with RIGHTLEFT support for editing right-to-left oriented files and
            Hebrew keyboard mapping, this option starts Vim in Hebrew mode, i.e. 'hkmap' and  'rightleft'
            are set.  Otherwise an error message is given and Vim aborts.
-i {viminfo}
            When  using the viminfo file is enabled, this option sets the filename to use, instead of the
            default "~/.viminfo".  This can also be used to skip the use of the .viminfo file, by  giving
            the name "NONE".

-L          Same as -r.
-l          Lisp mode.  Sets the 'lisp' and 'showmatch' options on.
-m          Modifying  files  is  disabled.  Resets the 'write' option.  You can still modify the buffer,
            but writing a file is not possible.
-M          Modifications not allowed.  The 'modifiable' and 'write'  options  will  be  unset,  so  that
            changes  are not allowed and files can not be written.  Note that these options can be set to
            enable making modifications.
-N          No-compatible mode.  Reset the 'compatible' option.  This will make Vim behave a bit  better,
            but less Vi compatible, even though a .vimrc file does not exist.
-n          No  swap file will be used.  Recovery after a crash will be impossible.  Handy if you want to
            edit a file on a very slow medium (e.g. floppy).  Can also be done with ":set uc=0".  Can  be
            undone with ":set uc=200".
-nb         Become an editor server for NetBeans.  See the docs for details.
-o[N]       Open N windows stacked.  When N is omitted, open one window for each file.
-O[N]       Open N windows side by side.  When N is omitted, open one window for each file.
-p[N]       Open N tab pages.  When N is omitted, open one tab page for each file.
-R          Read-only  mode.  The 'readonly' option will be set.  You can still edit the buffer, but will
            be prevented from accidently overwriting a file.  If you do want to overwrite a file, add  an
            exclamation  mark  to  the Ex command, as in ":w!".  The -R option also implies the -n option
            (see below).  The 'readonly' option can be reset with ":set noro".  See ":help 'readonly'".
-r          List swap files, with information about using them for recovery.
-r {file}   Recovery mode.  The swap file is used to recover a crashed editing session.  The swap file is
            a file with the same filename as the text file with ".swp" appended.  See ":help recovery".
-s          Silent  mode.   Only  when  started as "Ex" or when the "-e" option was given before the "-s"
            option.
-s {scriptin}
            The script file {scriptin} is read.  The characters in the file are interpreted as if you had
            typed  them.  The same can be done with the command ":source! {scriptin}".  If the end of the
            file is reached before the editor exits, further characters are read from the keyboard.
-T {terminal}
            Tells Vim the name of the terminal you are using.   Only  required  when  the  automatic  way
            doesn't  work.   Should  be  a  terminal  known to Vim (builtin) or defined in the termcap or
            terminfo file.
-u {vimrc}  Use the commands in the file {vimrc} for initializations.  All the other initializations  are
            skipped.   Use  this  to  edit  a  special  kind  of  files.  It can also be used to skip all
            initializations by giving the name "NONE".  See ":help initialization" within  vim  for  more
            details.

-U {gvimrc} Use  the  commands  in  the  file  {gvimrc}  for  GUI  initializations.   All  the  other GUI
            initializations are skipped.  It can also be used to skip all GUI initializations  by  giving
            the name "NONE".  See ":help gui-init" within vim for more details.
-V[N]       Verbose.   Give  messages about which files are sourced and for reading and writing a viminfo
            file.  The optional number N is the value for 'verbose'.  Default is 10.
-v          Start Vim in Vi mode, just like the executable was called "vi".  This only  has  effect  when
            the executable is called "ex".
-w {scriptout}
            All  the  characters  that you type are recorded in the file {scriptout}, until you exit Vim.
            This is useful if you want to create a script file to be used with "vim  -s"  or  ":source!".
            If the {scriptout} file exists, characters are appended.
-W {scriptout}
            Like -w, but an existing file is overwritten.
-x          Use encryption when writing files.  Will prompt for a crypt key.
-X          Don't connect to the X server.  Shortens startup time in a terminal, but the window title and
            clipboard will not be used.
-y          Start Vim in easy mode, just like the executable was called "evim"  or  "eview".   Makes  Vim
            behave like a click-and-type editor.
-Z          Restricted mode.  Works like the executable starts with "r".
--echo-wid  GTK GUI only: Echo the Window ID on stdout.
--help      Give a help message and exit, just like "-h".
--literal   Take file name arguments literally, do not expand wildcards.  This  has  no  effect  on  Unix
            where the shell expands wildcards.
--noplugin  Skip loading plugins.  Implied by -u NONE.
--remote    Connect to a Vim server and make it edit the files given in the rest of the arguments.  If no
            server is found a warning is given and the files are edited in the current Vim.
--remote-expr {expr}
            Connect to a Vim server, evaluate {expr} in it and print the result on stdout.
--remote-send {keys}
            Connect to a Vim server and send {keys} to it.
--remote-silent
            As --remote, but without the warning when no server is found.
--remote-wait
            As --remote, but Vim does not exit until the files have been edited.
--remote-wait-silent
            As --remote-wait, but without the warning when no server is found.
--serverlist
            List the names of all Vim servers that can be found.
--servername {name}
            Use {name} as the server name.  Used for  the  current  Vim,  unless  used  with  a  --remote
            argument, then it's the name of the server to connect to.
--socketid {id}
            GTK GUI only: Use the GtkPlug mechanism to run gvim in another window.
--version   Print version information and exit.
