Options
–E Uses extended regular expressions. Normally, sed uses basic regular
expressions. For more information, see Appendix C.
–e script
Adds the editing subcommands script to the end of the script.
–f scriptfile
Adds the subcommands in the file scriptfile to the end of the script.
–n Suppresses all output except that generated by explicit subcommands in
the sed script [acilnpPr]
If you need only one script argument, you can omit the –e and use the first form of
the command.
sed subcommands are similar to those of the interactive text editor ed, except that
sed subcommands necessarily view the input text as a stream rather than as a
directly addressable file.
Each line of a sed script consists of one or more editing commands. The
commands can be preceded by either semicolons or blanks, or both. Each editing
command contains up to two addresses, a single letter command, and possible
command arguments. The last editing command is followed with a terminating
newline. The newline is optional in script strings typed on the command line.

Subcommands
sed subcommands necessarily view the input text as a stream rather than as a
directly addressable file. Script subcommands can begin with zero, one, or two
addresses, as in ed.
v Zero-address subcommands refer to every input line.
v One-address subcommands select only those lines matching that address.
v Two-address subcommands select those input line ranges starting with a match
on the first address up to an input line matching the second address, inclusive.
If the second address is a number less than or equal to the line number first
selected, only one line is selected.
Permissible addressing constructions are:
n The number n matches only the nth input line.
$ This address matches the last input line.
/regexp/
This address selects an input line matching the specified regular expression
regexp. If you do not want to use slash (/) characters around the regular
expression, use a different character (but not backslash or newline) and put
a backslash (\) before the first one. For example, if you want to use % to
enclose the regular expression, write \%regexp%.
If an regexp is empty (that is, no pattern is specified) sed behaves as if the
last regexp used in the last command applied (either as an address or as
part of a substitute command) was specified.
A command can be preceded by a ’!’ character, in which case the command is
applied if the addresses do not select the pattern space. When the variable
