vi(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities vi(1)
Message: Temporary file i/o error--DANGER--write file somewhere
else and exit ASAP!
Cause: A serious error occurred while performing I/O on the temporary files.
Action: Save the work space to a different work file name, exit the editor and re-enter
using the recently saved work file. If the error persists, contact your system
manager.
Message: Terminal "term" has insufficient capabilities for
Curses
Cause: The terminal term does not have the features necessary to support the Curses li-
brary routine necessary for running vi.
Action: Use another terminal.
Message: Too dangerous to map that.
Cause: You specified a multi-key mapping that did not begin with a non-alphabetic
character.
Action: Choose a multi-key mapping that begins with a non-alphabetic character.
Message: Too long
Cause: You attempted to delete a range of text from the middle of one line to the
middle of another. This would result in joining the remainders of the lines to
form a line, the length of which would exceed the maximum line length indicat-
ed by the configuration variable LINE_MAX.
Action: Make shorter lines.
Message: Too many file names
Cause: You specified multiple file names as arguments to a command that only accepts
one file name.
Action: Check the Ex Commands subsection for list of valid Ex commands and their ar-
guments.
Message: Too many nested sources
Cause: You attempted to nest too many source files within other source files.
Action: Reduce the level of nesting.
Message: Unknown terminal "term".
Cause: A path could not be determined for the terminal name, or none of standard in-
put, standard output, and standard error were a terminal.
Action: Make sure that standard input is a terminal, not a redirected file or a pipe.
Message: Unknown uid #num. Unable to recover
Cause: Your user
ID could not be found. This ID (typically your login name) is used to
locate files that were lost or preserved by the use for subsequent recovery at a
later time.
Action: Contact your system manager.
