The use of the vertical bar to separate ex-commands given together is
not specific to the -c command-line argument. It is documented at
":help :bar", in section 3 "Ex command-lines" of Vim's cmdline.txt
help file. It is extremely useful to enter a complete if..endif block,
e.g. as an autocommand or (with <Bar> to represent the vertical bar)
in the {rhs} of a mapping.
Best regards,
Tony.
