vipe - edit pipe

       vipe takes an argument --suffix that can be used to provide a file extension to the temp file generated.
       This enables editors to provide syntax highlighting and activate modes.  For example, you can call vipe
       like

         vipe --suffix csv

       to create a tempfile with .csv extensions which makes Emacs (or your favorite editor) launch in CSV major
       mode.

       vipe allows you to run your editor in the middle of a unix pipeline and edit the data that is being piped
       between programs. Your editor will have the full data being piped from command1 loaded into it, and when
       you close it, that data will be piped into command2.

       EDITOR
           Editor to use.

       VISUAL
           Also supported to determine what editor to use.
