NAME
     vifn - edit by function name rather than file name, uses vi

SYNOPSIS
     vifn [filename/]function-name [...]

DESCRIPTION
     vifn  is  a crude script which uses output from pmccabe(1) to allow editing
     by function name rather than file name.  When duplicate function names  ex-
     ist  in  more  than  one file, vifn cycles through each one.  Use filename/
     when multiple files contain identically-named functions and  you  know  the
     one you want.

BUGS
     vifn uses the file "pmccabe.out" in the current directory, or creates it if
     not found by running pmccabe on files in the current directory.  Maybe this
     isn't really a bug, but it could be better.

     vifn  does  not use the $EDITOR environment variable only because there are
     editors which misunderstand vi's +line convention for starting  the  editor
     positioned at a specific line.
