10.0;von, revision 1.0, 88/01/21
von - activate the shell's -v flag.
usage: von



DESCRIPTION
     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, you can use von 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 overridden 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.
