NAME

     vifs -- safely edit fstab


SYNOPSIS

     vifs


DESCRIPTION

     The vifs utility simply locks the fstab file before invoking an editor on
     it.  This is important to facilitate the modification of fstab by auto-
     mated tools and system management software.

     Always use vifs to edit fstab, instead of invoking an editor directly.


SEE ALSO

     vi(1), fstab(5)

     The vifs utility originates from Mac OSX 10.5.
