__vipw__ and __vigr__ will edit the files |
| |
|
21 |
''/etc/passwd'' and ''/etc/group'', respectively. With |
| |
|
22 |
the __-s__ flag, they will edit the shadow versions of |
| |
|
23 |
those files, ''/etc/shadow'' and ''/etc/gshadow'', |
| |
|
24 |
respectively. The programs will set the appropriate locks to |
| |
|
25 |
prevent file corruption. |

When looking for an editor, the programs will first try the |
| |
|
29 |
environment variable __VISUAL__, then the environment |
| |
|
30 |
variable __EDITOR__, and finally the default editor, |
| |
|
31 |
__vi__. |
