.SH NAME
vifn \- edit by function name rather than file name, uses vi
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B vifn [filename/]function-name [...]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I vifn
is a crude script which uses output from
.IR pmccabe (1)
to allow editing by function name rather than file name.
When duplicate function names exist in more than one file,
.I vifn
cycles through each one.
Use 
.B filename/
when multiple files contain identically-named functions and you know
the one you want.
.SH BUGS
.I vifn
uses the file "\fCpmccabe.out\fR" in the current directory, or
creates it if not found by running
.I pmccabe
on files in the current directory.
Maybe this isn't really a bug, but it could be better.
.P
.I vifn
does not use the \fC$EDITOR\fR environment variable only because
there are editors which misunderstand
.IR vi 's
.B +line
convention for starting the editor positioned at a specific line.
