OPTIONS

       -b directory, --blogdir directory
           Allows you to specify a directory in which the BlazeBlogger repository is placed. The
           default option is a current working directory.

       -E editor, --editor editor
           Allows you to specify an external text editor. When supplied, this option overrides
           the relevant configuration option.

       -p, --page
           Tells blaze-edit to edit a page or pages.

       -P, --post
           Tells blaze-edit to edit a blog post or blog posts. This is the default option.

       -f, --force
           Tells blaze-edit to create an empty source file in case it does not already exist. If
           the core.processor option is enabled, this file is used as the input to be processed
           by the selected application.

       -C, --no-processor
           Disables processing a blog post or page with an external application.

       -q, --quiet
           Disables displaying of unnecessary messages.

           Displays version information and exits.

ENVIRONMENT

       EDITOR
           Unless the core.editor option is set, BlazeBlogger tries to use system-wide settings
           to decide which editor to use.

         ~]$ blaze-edit 10
