Initial Command Line: -ccmdstring
You can specify commands to be executed using the -c option before the file name. The -c is followed by commands to be executed. There must be no space between the -c and the command list.
If those commands contain a space, they must be enclosed in single or double quotes; otherwise, the quotes are optional. When both -c and a file name occur, the –c commands are executed after the file is accessed for editing. Here are some examples:
qedit -cvisual myfile
qedit -c"visual" myfile
qedit -c'set vis ab 3 bel 12;visual' myfile
qedit -c"text abc;use fixit;k,y;e"
