Subject: emacs switch similar to vi's -R, or view equivalent?

Message-ID: <44EB2081.8060100@an3e.org> (raw)
Hello,
Is there an emacs switch similar to vi's -R, or view equivalent?
I use emacs regularly but find "view this_file" very comforting,
e.g., sudo view /etc/aliases. This forces me to ! the write as
an extra measure of safety.
My guess is that I need a special init file that gets loaded via an
alias, i.e., "ev this_file".
Thanks,
Andrew
