seems every time (not quite, just seems that way) i
leave ELVIS with ":q" i add another buffer to
recover via "-r"...
man elvis:
-r This is used for recovering an edit session after a
crash. Each elvis process uses a single "session
file" to store the contents of all edit buffers.
While elvis is running, a flag is set near the
beginning of the session file so that other elvis
processes won't try to use it at the same time. If
an elvis process dies abnormally, though, it will
leave the session file lying around with that flag
set; the -r flag allows elvis to open a session
file even if it is marked as being in use.
and then -- how do i get rid of it?
from doc/elvis/howto.html:
Free an edit buffer
Elvis has no command for discarding old edit
buffers. Under some circumstances it will free
them automatically, if they aren't being used.
It rarely matters, though.
uh huh. not in my case.
# vi -r
:buf
*Elvis untitled #1 (2)
*Elvis untitled #2 (1)
*Elvis untitled #3 (3)
*Elvis untitled #4 (6)
*Elvis untitled #5 (5)
*Elvis untitled #6 (7)
*Elvis untitled #7 (8)
1: Elvis untitled #8 (9)
*elvis.html (4)
Hit <Enter> to continue
but how does one get rid of those buffers once they're
reopened (whether saved or to be ignored) with "vi -r"?
tried:
:e!
:q
and
:close!
ZZ
among others...
