NAME


vidir - edit directory

SYNOPSIS


vidir [--verbose] [directory|file|-] ...

DESCRIPTION


vidir allows editing of the contents of a directory in a text editor. If no directory is
specified, the current directory is edited.

When editing a directory, each item in the directory will appear on its own numbered line.
These numbers are how vidir keeps track of what items are changed. Delete lines to remove
files from the directory, or edit filenames to rename files. You can also switch pairs of
numbers to swap filenames.

Note that if "-" is specified as the directory to edit, it reads a list of filenames from
stdin and displays those for editing. Alternatively, a list of files can be specified on
the command line.
