4.0;von, revision 4.0, 82/03/31 VON -- Activate the Shell's -V flag. usage: VON FORMAT VON VON turns on input verification. As commands are executed, or comments processed, they are written to the error output stream of the Shell. In Shell scripts, VON can be used to show the progress being made by the script. If VON is turned on in a shell script, it remains on until that shell script exits, or until over-ridden by a VOFF in a nested shell script. When a shell script exits, the state of input verification is returned to the state in effect just before the script was invoked. VON requires no arguments or options. RELATED TOPICS More information is available.
