9.4. Initialization
If the -s or "-" options
have been specified, then nvi will bypass
all initializations.
Otherwise, nvi performs the following steps:
Read and execute the file /etc/vi.exrc.
It must be owned either by root or by you.
Execute the value of the NEXINIT environment
variable if it exists, otherwise use EXINIT
if it exists. Only one will be used, not both.
Bypass executing $HOME/.nexrc or
$HOME/.exrc.
If $HOME/.nexrc exists, read and execute it.
Otherwise,
if $HOME/.exrc exists, read and execute it.
Only one will be used.
If the exrc option has been set, then look for
and execute either ./.nexrc if it exists,
or ./.exrc.
Only one will be used.
nvi will not execute any file that is writable
by anyone other than the file's owner.
The nvi documentation suggests putting
common initialization actions into your .exrc
file (i.e., options and commands for UNIX vi),
and having your .nexrc file
execute :source .exrc before or after the
nvi-specific initializations.
