vis: handle file truncation more gracefully
If we use the file / virtual memory system as cache (using mmap(2)) and another process truncates the file we are editing, we have a problem. All we can do is catch the resulting SIGBUS, close the corresponding window and print a warning message. To test this use: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=TEST bs=8M count=1 $ vis TEST :! echo TRUNCATE > TEST
