shell - How to write buffer content to stdout?

Is there any chance to write the content of the current vim buffer to stdout?

I'd like to use vim to edit content that was passed via stdin - without the need of a temporary file to retrieve the modified content (on Linux/Unix).

Is it possible that a plugin/script - that act on quit or save put the buffer content to stdout?

Since you use Linux/Unix, you might also be interested in trying out moreutils. It provides a command called vipe, which reads from stdin, lets you edit the text in $EDITOR, and then prints the modified text to stdout.

So make sure you set your editor to Vim:

export EDITOR=vim

And then you can try these examples:

cat /etc/fstab | vipe
cut -d' ' -f2 /etc/mtab | vipe | less
