$ v run [path/to/file.v]

$ v crun [path/to/file.v]

$ v watch [path/to/file.v]

$ v watch run [path/to/file.v]

v [file1] [file2] ...

[file1]
    The first file to open in Vim. If omitted, Vim will start with an empty buffer.

[file2] ...
    Additional files to open in Vim. Each file will be opened in a separate buffer or window, depending on Vim's configuration and the number of files.

The `v` command is not a standard Linux command. It is commonly an alias or a shell function that provides a shortcut for opening a file or set of files in the Vim (Vi Improved) text editor. Vim is a powerful, highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It's a clone of the classic vi editor, but offers significant improvements, including multi-level undo, multiple windows and buffers, syntax highlighting, and a vast plugin ecosystem. The `v` alias/function allows users to quickly launch Vim without typing the full command `vim`, often with the desired files as arguments. Because it's an alias/function, its behavior depends on how it is configured in the user's shell environment (e.g., `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`). Therefore, its precise functionality varies between systems, but generally opens files for editing. If no files are specified, it typically starts Vim in an empty buffer.

The `v` command is not a standard command, but it is typically an alias or a shell function defined by the user or system administrator. Therefore, its availability and exact behavior may vary depending on the system configuration. To check its definition, use `alias v` or `type v` in your shell.

To find out exactly what `v` does on your system, use the `alias v` command (if it's an alias) or the `type v` command (if it's a function or program). This will show you the actual command that is executed when you type `v` in your terminal. Example:
alias v='vim'
type v might show:
v is aliased to `vim`

You can customize the behavior of the `v` command by modifying its definition in your shell configuration file (e.g., `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`). For example, you could add options to `vim` to set specific settings when the editor is opened. Example:
alias v='vim -p' (opens files in tabs)
