edit
edit [ -aaction] [ -l | -R ] [file... ]
The edit command is used in conjunction with
watch to permit a more coordinated (serialized)
development process. It makes the file writable and sends out an
advisory to any users that have requested them. A temporary
watch is established that’s
removed automatically when either the unedit or
the commit command is issued.
The standard meanings of the common client options
-l and -R apply. The only additional option that
can be used with the edit command is
-a
actions. This option is
used to specify the actions to watch. The legal values for actions
are described in the entry for the watch
command.
