This is my first attempt of creating an own AUR package for vidir, a useful tool to rename or delete files in a directory.

+=head1 NAME
+
+vidir - edit directory
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<vidir> [--verbose] [directory|file|-] ...
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+vidir allows editing of the contents of a directory in a text editor. If no
+directory is specified, the current directory is edited. 
+
+When editing a directory, each item in the directory will appear on its own
+numbered line. These numbers are how vidir keeps track of what items are
+changed. Delete lines to remove files from the directory, or
+edit filenames to rename files. You can also switch pairs of numbers to
+swap filenames.
+
+Note that if "-" is specified as the directory to edit, it reads a list of
+filenames from stdin and displays those for editing. Alternatively, a list
+of files can be specified on the command line.
+
