| 1620 | 33 2. Vimball Introduction *vimball-intro* |
| 34 | |
| 35 Vimball is intended to make life simpler for users of plugins. All | |
| 36 a user needs to do with a vimball is: > | |
| 37 vim someplugin.vba | |
| 38 :so % | |
| 39 :q | |
| 40 < and the plugin and all its components will be installed into their | |
| 41 appropriate directories. Note that one doesn't need to be in any | |
| 42 particular directory when one does this. Plus, any help for the | |
| 43 plugin will also be automatically installed. | |
| 44 | |
| 45 If a user has decided to use the AsNeeded plugin, vimball is smart | |
| 46 enough to put scripts nominally intended for .vim/plugin/ into | |
| 47 .vim/AsNeeded/ instead. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 Removing a plugin that was installed with vimball is really easy: > | |
| 50 vim | |
| 51 :RmVimball someplugin | |
| 52 < This operation is not at all easy for zips and tarballs, for example. | |
| 53 | |
| 54 Vimball examines the user's |'runtimepath'| to determine where to put | |
| 55 the scripts. The first directory mentioned on the runtimepath is | |
| 56 usually used if possible. Use > | |
| 57 :echo &rtp | |
| 58 < to see that directory. | |
| 59 | |

64 MAKING A VIMBALL *:MkVimball* |
| 1121 | 65 :[range]MkVimball[!] filename [path] |
| 845 | 66 |
| 1121 | 67 The range is composed of lines holding paths to files to be included |
| 1620 | 68 in your new vimball, omitting the portion of the paths that is |
| 69 normally specified by the runtimepath (|'rtp'|). As an example: > | |
| 845 | 70 plugin/something.vim |
| 71 doc/something.txt | |
| 1121 | 72 < using > |
| 73 :[range]MkVimball filename | |
| 74 < | |
| 75 on this range of lines will create a file called "filename.vba" which | |
| 76 can be used by Vimball.vim to re-create these files. If the | |
| 845 | 77 "filename.vba" file already exists, then MkVimball will issue a |
| 78 warning and not create the file. Note that these paths are relative | |
| 79 to your .vim (vimfiles) directory, and the files should be in that | |
| 1121 | 80 directory. The vimball plugin normally uses the first |'runtimepath'| |
| 81 directory that exists as a prefix; don't use absolute paths, unless | |
| 82 the user has specified such a path. | |
| 1620 | 83 |
| 84 If you use the exclamation point (!), then MkVimball will create the | |
| 85 "filename.vba" file, overwriting it if it already exists. This | |
| 86 behavior resembles that for |:w|. | |

| 147 This command removes all files generated by the specified vimball | |

| 149 for de-installation, too (see |'runtimepath'|); otherwise, the | |
| 150 default is the first existing directory on the |'runtimepath'|. | |
| 151 To implement this, a file (.VimballRecord) is made in that directory | |
| 152 containing a record of what files need to be removed for all vimballs | |
| 153 used thus far. | |
