# Quit When There Is An Argument List
|
|
|
|
To start a Vim session with multiple files in the argument list, name
|
|
multiple files when invoking Vim:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ vim README.md LICENSE
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The first file in the argument list, and the current buffer, is `README.md`.
|
|
The last file in the argument list is `LICENSE`.
|
|
|
|
At this point if you try to quit, Vim will prevent you saying `1 more file
|
|
to edit`. If we look at the docs for `:q` and `:wq`, we see something along
|
|
the lines of:
|
|
|
|
> This fails when the last file in the argument list has not been edited.
|
|
|
|
Vim wants to ensure that you've paid attention to every file that you loaded
|
|
up into your argument list. If you'd like to quit regardless. then this is
|
|
where the `:q!` and `:wq!` variants come in handy. This commands will skip
|
|
the argument list check.
