  2. NAME
  3. vimtutor - the Vim tutor
  4. SYNOPSIS
  5. vimtutor [-g] [language]
  6. DESCRIPTION
  7. Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor. It copies the tutor file first, so that
  8. it can be modified without changing the original file.
  9. The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn their first Vim
  10. commands.
  11. The optional argument -g starts vimtutor with gvim rather than vim, if
  12. the GUI version of vim is available, or falls back to Vim if gvim is
  13. not found.
  14. The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language,
  15. like "it" or "es". If the [language] argument is missing, the language
  16. of the current locale will be used. If a tutor in this language is
  17. available, it will be used. Otherwise the English version will be
  18. used.
  19. Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode.
  20. FILES
  21. /usr/local/lib/vim/tutor/tutor[.language]
  22. The Vimtutor text file(s).
  23. /usr/local/lib/vim/tutor/tutor.vim
  24. The Vim script used to copy the Vimtutor text file.
