      Normally vim has some encrypt feature to store the resulting file only readable with some key provided:

      $ vim -x testfile
      Warning: Using a weak encryption method; see :help 'cm'
      Enter encryption key: ***
      Enter same key again: ***
      ...
      $ file testfile  
      testfile: Vim encrypted file data
      

      The vi in our UBT (which is also a vim) does not have this feature compiled in. The flag -x is unknown as it says.

      Why?

        @guru said in vi without encrypt:

        Why?

        It's only in a full VIM install, which is not in the UT rootfs. You can install it in libertine if you want to use a full VIM.
