vit - Edit a file in a tarball



NAME

    vit - Edit a file in a tarball


DOWNLOAD

vit


SYNOPSIS

    vit tarball path/to/file
    vit -i tarball


DESCRIPTION

vit allows editing files within a tarball without actually unpacking it.

The relative path of the file to be edited can be specified on the command line.

Or, by giving the -i option, the user gets to pick the file interactively:

    $ ./vit -i Module-Build-0.2607.tar.gz
    [1] Module-Build-0.2607/Build.PL
    [2] Module-Build-0.2607/Changes
    ...
    [63] Module-Build-0.2607/t/XSTest/test.pl
    Select file [1]>


EXAMPLES

      # Edit perl's readme file
  $ vit stable.tar.gz perl-5.8.5/README
      # Pick from all the files contained in the module distro
  $ vit -i Module-Build-0.2607.tar.gz
