Hi Team,

I am facing issue that each time a swp file is created as I am editing code.

The .swp file is a normal part of vim operation. If you exit the file in
a normal fashion, vim will delete the .swp file.




Description is below :

(1) Another program may be editing the same file.  If this is the case,

     be careful not to end up with two different instances of the same

     file when making changes.  Quit, or continue with caution.

If you open another window on the same file, then both windows will be fighting to edit the same file with indeterminate results.


(2) An edit session for this file crashed.

     If this is the case, use ":recover" or "vim -r /home/divyanshu/kunal/madLte/vRSC

-Client/oam/lte_tr069/cwmp/common/include/map_glue.h"

     to recover the changes (see ":help recovery").

     If you did this already, delete the swap file "/home/divyanshu/kunal/madLte/vRSC

-Client/oam/lte_tr069/cwmp/common/include/.map_glue.h.swp"

If you exit without letting vim do this cleanup, you'll get that warning when you reopen the file. This can happen if you shut down your computer with vim windows open. Exit all files before terminating vim and this won't happen.
If you insist on being unable to recover from various issues, you can:  :set noswf  .  That will turn swapfiles off.

Chip Campbell
