vim: Open a file.
$ vim ${filename}
try on your machine
The command vim ${filename}
is used to open a file named ${filename}
in the Vim text editor.
Here's an explanation of each part of the command:
vim
: It is the command to start the Vim text editor.${filename}
: It is a placeholder for the name of the file you want to open in Vim. This syntax suggests that the filename is being passed as a variable, which should be substituted with an actual filename when executing the command. For example, if you want to open a file named "example.txt" using this command, you would replace${filename}
with "example.txt" like so:vim example.txt
.
