ED(1)

NAME
ed - text editor

SYNOPSIS
ed [ - ] [ name ]

DESCRIPTION
ed is a text editor. This version is copyrighted, but freely available. The assumption is that the only use for ed will be to support scripts which use it. Therefore, this documentation is intentionally brief. One hopes that this version of ed is fully compatible with the "standard" version.

OPTIONS

-   Suppress explanatory output. This option should be used when the standard input is an editor script.

BUGS
This version does not support the -x option for file encryption, the x command (traditionally for file encryption) does something else, and the u command (undo) is not supported.
