the construct 'x. This is called an absolute address, because it always
refers to the same line, regardless of changes to the buffer.
.,.l Displays the addressed range of lines, representing nonprintable (control)
characters in a visible manner. The end of each line will be marked with a
’$’ character. The characters listed in the Base Definitions volume of IEEE
Std 1003.1-2001, Table 5-1, Escape Sequences and Associated Actions (
’\\’, ’\a’, ’\b’, ’\f’, ’\r’, ’\t’, ’\v’ ) shall be written as the corresponding escape
sequence; the ’\n’ in that table is not applicable. If the variable _UNIX03 is
set to YES,’$’ characters within the text will be written with a preceding
backslash. ed sets the current line to the last line so displayed. You can
append this subcommand to most other commands, to check on the effect
of those subcommands.
.,.ma Moves the addressed lines to the point immediately following the line given
by the address a. The address a must not be in the range of addressed
lines. If address a is 0, ed moves the lines to the beginning of the buffer.
The last line moved becomes the new current line.
.,.n Displays the addressed lines in a way similar to the p command, but ed
puts the line number and a tab character at the beginning of each line. The
last line displayed becomes the new current line. You can append n to any
subcommand (except for E, e, f, Q, r, w, or !) so that you can check on the
effect that the subcommands had.
P Turns on subcommand prompting if it is not already on. If you specified the
–p prompt option on the ed command line, ed displays the prompt string
whenever it is ready for you to type in another subcommand. If you did not
include the –p option, ed uses the * character as a prompt. If subcommand
prompting is currently turned on, issuing the P subcommand turns it off.
.,.p Displays (prints) the addressed lines. The last line displayed becomes the
new current line. You can append p to most subcommands, so that you can
check on the effect that the subcommands had.
You can append p to any subcommand (except for E, e, f, Q, r, w, or !) so
that you can check on the effect that the subcommands had.
Q Quits unconditionally, without checking for buffer changes.
q Causes the editor to exit. If you have made changes to the buffer since the
last save and you try to quit, ed issues a warning. Entering the q
subcommand again lets you quit, regardless of unsaved changes.
$r [file]
Reads the contents of the file into the buffer after the addressed line. If the
address is 0, ed places the text before the first line in the buffer. If you do
not specify file, ed uses the remembered filename; if no remembered
filename exists, file becomes the new remembered name. If file contains
bytes that are not valid in the current character set, they are replaced by
the rubout character.
The r subcommand displays the number of bytes read from file unless you
specified the –s option. The last line read from the file becomes the new
current line. If file is replaced by !, the rest of the line is considered a shell
command line, the output of which is to be read.
.,.s/regexp/new/[flags]
Searches the specified range of lines for strings matching the regular
expression regexp. Normally the s subcommand replaces the first such
matching string in each line with the string new. The s subcommand sets
