it acts on the current directory.

The default editor that comes with the UNIX/Linux operating system is called vi (visual editor)

command mode.

current line) commands.
3.  Command line mode: One enters this mode by typing ":" which puts the command line
entry at the foot of the screen.

To Exit vi 
Usually the new or modified file is saved when you leave vi. However, it is also possible
to quit vi without saving the file.
