The .I VISUAL and then .I EDITOR environment variables are consulted for the name of the editor to use; defaults to .IR vi (1) if neither is set. Warning: tries to be well behaved when faced with errors, the temporary file is left in your home directory. This option may not be used in the background, or when the standard input is not a terminal. .TP 8n .B -Edit_BackGround .br Edit the attributes with a dumb text editor, this is most often desired when edit commands are being piped into the editor via the standard input. Only the .I EDITOR environment variable is consulted for the name of the editor to use; it is a fatal error if it is not set.
