💅 VG(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to VG(1), the companion script to cg(1) — and before you ask, yes, the manual name is right there in the title, we're being efficient today 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

vg — edit an entry found by the cg script. that's it. that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vg [ -l ] number

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So vg is the companion script to cg(1), and its whole personality is: it fires off an editor so you can edit an entry that cg(1) already found for you. literally just the "ok now go fix it" button 🔥

This script runs with only one argument, and that argument has to be an integer within range of the output of cg(1) — like, the number you see in the far left column. For example: vg 0. iconic. no notes. 🫶

And if you run it with the -l option? Then it edits using the log from the last search instead. slay.

👑 COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS 👑

• -l — edits from the last search rather than from this terminal. (yes that's the only one, she's lowkey minimalist 💅)

---

🦋 FILES 🦋

• ${HOME}/.cglast — log file of the last search. this is the receipts folder, basically.
• ${HOME}/.cgvgrc — per-user configuration file, for when the defaults are simply not serving 🎀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

cg(1), perl(1), cscope(1) — go read those too, iykyk ✨

ngl there's no wild bugs or scary warnings in here, but do remember the whole "one argument, integer, from the far left column of cg(1) output" thing — that's the rule, fr fr 💀

okay that's the whole page!! stay hydrated, keep your dotfiles cute, and go edit that entry bestie 💖🦋✨
