If your computer has crashed while editing a file, you should be able
to recover the file by typing
vi -r <filename>
where <filename> is the name of the file you were editing at the time
of the crash.
If you were editing without a file name, give an empty string as argument:
vim -r ""
To get a list of recoverable files start vim without arguments:
vim -r
For more information about file recovery refer to:
