+**`dav edit [-pc] [-k <key>] [-V <version>] <url>`**
+
+Downloads a resources and opens an editor. If there is no resource at the
+specified location, it is attempted to create a fresh resource.
+The resource is downloaded to a temporary file and re-uploaded only if you save
+any changes to that file.
+
+The default editor `vi` can be changed with the `EDITOR` environment variable.
+
+This command transparently handles decryption and encryption. If you download
+and open a plain text file and request content encryption (either by config or
+by command line option) the file will be re-uploaded with content encryption.
+However, a present file will keep its (plain text) file name in any case.
+
+**`-p`** disable file name encryption and decryption
+
+**`-c`** enable file name and content encryption
+
+**`-k <key>`** use the specified key for encryption. The key must be configured in
+  the config.xml file
+
+**`-V <version>`** downloads a specific version of the resource. Available versions can be listed with the *list-versions* command
