- ed [ options ] [ file ]
-
- ed is a line-oriented text editor that has two modes: command mode and input mode. In command mode characters on the standard input are interpreted as
commands, and in input mode they are interpreted as text.
-
- -h, --explain
- Explain the details of error conditions rather than the default ``?'' on the standard error.
- -o, --output
- Write output to the standard output and error messages to the standard error. By default output is written to the file being
edited and error messages are printed on the standard output.
- -p, --prompt=string
- Sets the command line prompt to string. The default is no prompt.
- -q, --test
- For testing; enable verbose messages and reset the QUIT signal handler to the default action.
- -s, --silent
- Disable verbose messages.
- -O, --lenient
- Enable lenient regular expression interpretation. This is the default if getconf CONFORMANCE is not standard.
- -S, --strict
- Enable strict regular expression interpretation. This is the default if getconf CONFORMANCE is standard. You'd be
suprised what the lenient mode lets by.
