Writing portable C that uses pledge/unveil?
It looks like this is the same check for pledge/define HAVE_PLEDGE/guard the pledge invocation pattern is used in Brian Callahan's OpenED portable version of OpenBSD's ed(1).

Is there an editor like emacs, vim, etc. but (solely) used in the BSD world?
ed(1) on BSD is distinct from GNU ed (which broke some of my common usage patterns in version 1.14). However, it is portable so could be built on Linux if you want. :-)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nvi and oed you can also consider the following projects:
mg - Micro (GNU) Emacs-like text editor ❤️ public-domain
nvi2 - A multibyte fork of the nvi editor for BSD
elvis - The elvis vi-clone (written by Steve Kirkendall)
oconfigure - configuration script for portable, OpenBSD-oriented systems
jove - Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs : a venerable (1983?), fast, small Emacs clone that was originally written for 2.8BSD on PDP-11. Some of us have been using and contributing to it since 1986.
