It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise\nmanipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts. A restricted version of ed,\nred, can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. Ed is\nthe 'standard' text editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus\nwidely available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen editors such as\nGNU Emacs or GNU Moe.\n\n## Sections\n\n- **NAME**\n- **SYNOPSIS**\n- **DESCRIPTION**\n- **OPTIONS** (10 subsections)\n- **REPORTING BUGS**\n- **COPYRIGHT**\n- **SEE ALSO**\n\nUse structuredContent.sections for detailed options, examples, and full documentation.\n" } ], "structuredContent": { "command": "RED", "section": "", "mode": "man", "summary": "ed - line-oriented text editor", "synopsis": "ed [options] [file]", "tldr_summary": null, "tldr_examples": [], "tldr_source": null, "flags": [ { "flag": "-h", "long": "--help", "arg": null, "description": "display this help and exit" }, { "flag": "-V", "long": "--version", "arg": null, "description": "output version information and exit" }, { "flag": "-E", "long": "--extended-regexp", "arg": null, "description": "use extended regular expressions" }, { "flag": "-G", "long": "--traditional", "arg": null, "description": "run in compatibility mode" }, { "flag": "-l", "long": "--loose-exit-status", "arg": null, "description": "exit with 0 status even if a command fails" }, { "flag": "-p", "long": "--prompt", "arg": null, "description": "use STRING as an interactive prompt" }, { "flag": "-r", "long": "--restricted", "arg": null, "description": "run in restricted mode" }, { "flag": "-s", "long": "--silent", "arg": null, "description": "suppress diagnostics, byte counts and '!' prompt" }, { "flag": "-v", "long": "--verbose", "arg": null, "description": "be verbose; equivalent to the 'H' command" }, { "flag": "", "long": "--strip-trailing-cr", "arg": null, "description": "strip carriage returns at end of text lines Start edit by reading in 'file' if given.
