VIRECOVER(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual VIRECOVER(8)
NAME
virecover - report recovered vi edit sessions
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/virecover
DESCRIPTION
The virecover utility sends emails to users who have vi(1) recovery
files.
This email gives the name of the file that was saved for recovery and
instructions for recovering most, if not all, of the changes to the file.
This is done by using the -r option with vi(1). See the -r option in
vi(1) for details.
If the backup files have the execute bit set or are zero length, then
they have not been modified, so virecover deletes them to clean up.
virecover also removes recovery files that are corrupted, zero length, or
do not have a corresponding backup file.
virecover is normally run automatically at boot time using
/etc/rc.d/virecover.
FILES
/var/tmp/vi.recover/recover.* vi(1) recovery files
