It's also specified in posix-2008: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/vi.html Emacs, joe, nano and so on aren't. (That's presumably why busybox implemented vi but not the others.) That said, Linus Torvalds' personal primary editor is a microemacs fork he's maintained for years: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/editors/uemacs/uemacs.git/ Which I admit is of interest as well. :) Rob _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
