Quitting Vifm
Preserving runtime state across sessions
As described in Configuration model, Vifm can store some information between
invocations in vifminfo
file. What exactly is stored depends on the value of
'vifminfo'
option. The option enumerates values elements of run-time
state that can be saved on exit and restored on startup. It works this way:
- On exit Vifm stores all th is listed in
vifminfo
. - On startup Vifm loads reads
vifmrc
, which normally containsset vifminfo=...
and restores fromvifminfo
only items that correspond to that values.
By default only bookmarks are stored.
Below is the table of all possible values. Note those marked as obsolete, they might be removed
in future versions (for a good reason: they don't fit into usual way configuration fails are used; it's better
to put commands that correspond to this items into vifmrc
).
