description = "Vi IMproved — the venerable modal editor. Bare invocation and file-opening forms drop into an interactive session. Aliases cover the common driver names: vi, view, rvim, vimdiff, rview, ex. The covered flag surface stays inside session constraints and metadata. Session-constraint flags: `-R` read-only, `-Z` restricted mode (no shell-out from inside), `-m`/`-M` modifications disabled, `--clean`/`--noplugin` disable user config, `-n` disable swap. Display flags: `-p`/`-o`/`-O` for tabs and splits with optional count suffix, `+N` line positioning via numeric_dash. Recovery: `-r`/`-L` list and recover swap files. Mode selectors: `-d` diff mode, `-y` easy mode, `-v` vi mode, `-b` binary, `-l` lisp, `-C`/`-N` compatibility toggles. Valued flags whose value is metadata: `-T <terminal>`, `-i <viminfo>`, `-t <tag>`, `-q <errorfile>`. Diagnostic: `--version`, `--help`, `-D` debug, `--not-a-term`, `--ttyfail`, `-x` encrypted-file mode. Active project with frequent patches; this surface has been stable across 8.x and 9.x."
