* ABOUT BUGS
Before reporting a bug, please check the list of known bugs
and the list of oft-reported non-bugs (below).
Bugs and comments may be sent to bonzini@gnu.org; please
include in the Subject: header the first line of the output of
"sed --version".
Please do not send a bug report like this:
[while building frobme-1.3.4]
$ configure
sed: file sedscr line 1: Unknown option to 's'
If sed doesn't configure your favorite package, take a few extra
minutes to identify the specific problem and make a stand-alone test
case.
A stand-alone test case includes all the data necessary to perform the
test, and the specific invocation of sed that causes the problem. The
smaller a stand-alone test case is, the better. A test case should
not involve something as far removed from sed as "try to configure
frobme-1.3.4". Yes, that is in principle enough information to look
for the bug, but that is not a very practical prospect.
* NON-BUGS
'N' command on the last line
Most versions of sed exit without printing anything when the 'N'
command is issued on the last line of a file. GNU sed instead
prints pattern space before exiting unless of course the '-n'
command switch has been specified. More information on the reason
behind this choice can be found in the Info manual.
regex syntax clashes (problems with backslashes)
sed uses the Posix basic regular expression syntax. According to
the standard, the meaning of some escape sequences is undefined in
this syntax; notable in the case of GNU sed are '\|', '\+', '\?',
'\'', '\'', '\<', '\>', '\b', '\B', '\w', and '\W'.
As in all GNU programs that use Posix basic regular expressions, sed
interprets these escape sequences as meta-characters. So, 'x\+'
matches one or more occurrences of 'x'. 'abc\|def' matches either
'abc' or 'def'.
This syntax may cause problems when running scripts written for other
seds. Some sed programs have been written with the assumption that
'\|' and '\+' match the literal characters '|' and '+'. Such scripts
must be modified by removing the spurious backslashes if they are to
be used with recent versions of sed (not only GNU sed).
On the other hand, some scripts use 's|abc\|def||g' to remove occurrences
of _either_ 'abc' or 'def'. While this worked until sed 4.0.x, newer
versions interpret this as removing the string 'abc|def'. This is
again undefined behavior according to POSIX, but this interpretation
is arguably more robust: the older one, for example, required that
the regex matcher parsed '\/' as '/' in the common case of escaping
a slash, which is again undefined behavior; the new behavior avoids
this, and this is good because the regex matcher is only partially
under our control.
In addition, GNU sed supports several escape characters (some of
which are multi-character) to insert non-printable characters
in scripts ('\a', '\c', '\d', '\o', '\r', '\t', '\v', '\x'). These
can cause similar problems with scripts written for other seds.
-i clobbers read-only files
In short, 'sed d -i' will let one delete the contents of
a read-only file, and in general the '-i' option will let
one clobber protected files. This is not a bug, but rather a
consequence of how the Unix file system works.
The permissions on a file say what can happen to the data
in that file, while the permissions on a directory say what can
happen to the list of files in that directory. 'sed -i'
will not ever open for writing a file that is already on disk,
rather, it will work on a temporary file that is finally renamed
to the original name: if you rename or delete files, you're actually
modifying the contents of the directory, so the operation depends on
the permissions of the directory, not of the file). For this same
reason, sed will not let one use '-i' on a writeable file in a
read-only directory, and will break hard or symbolic links when
'-i' is used on such a file.
'0a' does not work (gives an error)
There is no line 0. 0 is a special address that is only used to treat
addresses like '0,/RE/' as active when the script starts: if you
write '1,/abc/d' and the first line includes the word 'abc', then
that match would be ignored because address ranges must span at least
two lines (barring the end of the file); but what you probably wanted is
to delete every line up to the first one including 'abc', and this
is obtained with '0,/abc/d'.
'[a-z]' is case insensitive
's/.*//' does not clear pattern space
You are encountering problems with locales. POSIX mandates that '[a-z]'
uses the current locale's collation order -- in C parlance, that means
strcoll(3) instead of strcmp(3). Some locales have a case insensitive
strcoll, others don't.
Another problem is that [a-z] tries to use collation symbols. This
only happens if you are on the GNU system, using GNU libc's regular
expression matcher instead of compiling the one supplied with GNU sed.
In a Danish locale, for example, the regular expression '^[a-z]$'
matches the string 'aa', because 'aa' is a single collating symbol that
comes after 'a' and before 'b'; 'll' behaves similarly in Spanish
locales, or 'ij' in Dutch locales.
Another common localization-related problem happens if your input stream
includes invalid multibyte sequences. POSIX mandates that such
sequences are _not_ matched by '.', so that 's/.*//' will not clear
pattern space as you would expect. In fact, there is no way to clear
sed's buffers in the middle of the script in most multibyte locales
(including UTF-8 locales). For this reason, GNU sed provides a 'z'
command (for 'zap') as an extension.
However, to work around both of these problems, which may cause bugs
in shell scripts, you can set the LC_ALL environment variable to 'C',
or set the locale on a more fine-grained basis with the other LC_*
environment variables.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
software and other kinds of works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
works, such as semiconductor masks.
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
on the Program.
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
form of a work.
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
is widely used among developers working in that language.
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
it, and giving a relevant date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
released under this License and any conditions added under section
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
"keep intact all notices".
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying the object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
the only significant mode of use of the product.
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License. But first, please read

GNU sed NEWS -*- outline -*-
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.10 (2026-04-21) [stable]
** Bug fixes
sed 's/a/b/g' (and other global substitutions) now works on input
lines longer than 2GB. Previously, matches beyond the 2^31 byte offset
would evoke a "panic" (exit 4).
[bug present since the beginning]
'sed --follow-symlinks -i' no longer has a TOCTOU race that could let
an attacker swap a symlink between resolution and open, causing sed to
read attacker-chosen content and write it to the original target.
[bug introduced in sed 4.1e]
sed no longer falsely matches when back-references are combined with
optional groups (.?) and the $ anchor. For example, this no longer
falsely matches the empty string at beginning of line:
$ echo ab | sed -E 's/^(.?)(.?).?\2\1$/X/'
Xab
[bug present since "the beginning"]
In --posix mode, sed no longer mishandles backslash escapes (\n,
\t, \a, etc.) after a named character class like [[:alpha:]].
For example, 's/^A\n[[:alpha:]]\n*/XXX/' would fail to match the
trailing newline, treating \n as a literal backslash and an 'n'
rather than a newline. This happened when an earlier backslash
escape in the same regex had already been converted, shifting the
in-place normalization buffer.
[bug introduced in sed 4.9]
sed --debug no longer crashes when a label (":") command is compiled
before the --debug option is processed, e.g., sed -f<(...) --debug.
[bug introduced in sed 4.7 with --debug]
sed no longer rejects the documented GNU extension 'a**' (equivalent
to 'a*') in Basic Regular Expression (BRE) mode. Previously, this
worked only with -E (ERE mode), even though grep has always accepted
it in BRE mode.
[bug present since "the beginning"]
sed no longer rejects "\c[" in regular expressions
[bug present since the beginning]
'sed --follow-symlinks -i' no longer mishandles an operand that is a
short symbolic link to a long symbolic link to a file.
[bug introduced in sed 4.9]
Fix some some longstanding but unlikely integer overflows.
Internally, 'sed' now more often prefers signed integer arithmetic,
which can be checked automatically via 'gcc -fsanitize=undefined'.
** Changes in behavior
In the default C locale, diagnostics now quote 'like this' (with
apostrophes) instead of `like this' (with a grave accent and an
apostrophe). This tracks the GNU coding standards.
'sed --posix' now warns about uses of backslashes in the 's' command
that are handled by GNU sed but are not portable to other
implementations.
** Build-related
builds no longer fail on platforms without the <getopt.h> header or
getopt_long function.
[bug introduced in sed 4.9]
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.9 (2022-11-06) [stable]
** Bug fixes
'sed --follow-symlinks -i' no longer loops forever when its operand
is a symbolic link cycle.
[bug introduced in sed 4.2]
a program with an execution line longer than 2GB can no longer trigger
an out-of-bounds memory write.
using the R command to read an input line of length longer than 2GB
can no longer trigger an out-of-bounds memory read.
In locales using UTF-8 encoding, the regular expression '.' no
longer sometimes fails to match Unicode characters U+D400 through
U+D7FF (some Hangul Syllables, and Hangul Jamo Extended-B) and
Unicode characters U+108000 through U+10FFFF (half of Supplemental
Private Use Area plane B).
[bug introduced in sed 4.8]
I/O errors involving temp files no longer confuse sed into using a
FILE * pointer after fclosing it, which has undefined behavior in C.
** New Features
The 'r' command now accepts address 0, allowing inserting a file before
the first line.
** Changes in behavior
Sed now prints the less-surprising variant in a corner case of
POSIX-unspecified behavior. Before, this would print "n".
Now, it prints "X":
printf n | sed 'sn\nnXn'; echo
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.8 (2020-01-14) [stable]
** Bug fixes
"sed -i" now creates temporary files with correct umask (limited to u=rwx).
Previously sed would incorrectly set umask on temporary files, resulting
in problems under certain fuse-like file systems.
[bug introduced in sed 4.2.1]
** Release
distribute gzip-compressed tarballs once again
** Improvements
a year's worth of gnulib development, including improved DFA performance
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.7 (2018-12-20) [stable]
** Bug fixes
Some uses of \b in the C locale and with the DFA matcher would fail, e.g.,
the following would mistakenly print "123-x" instead of "123":
echo 123-x|LC_ALL=C sed 's/.\bx//'
Using a multibyte locale or certain regexp constructs (some ranges,
backreferences) would avoid the bug. [bug introduced in sed 4.6]
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.6 (2018-12-19) [stable]
** Improvements
sed now prints a clear error message when r/R/w/W (and s///w) commands
are missing a filename. Previously, w/W commands would fail with confusing
error message, while r/R would be a silent no-op.
sed now uses fully-buffered output (instead of line-buffered) when
writing to files. This should noticeably improve performance of "sed -i"
and other write commands.
Buffering can be disabled (as before) with "sed -u".
sed in non-cygwin windows environments (e.g. mingw) now properly handles
'\n' newlines in -b/--binary mode.
** Bug fixes
sed no longer accesses invalid memory (heap overflow) when given invalid
backreferences in 's' command [bug#32082, present at least since sed-4.0.6].
sed no longer adds extraneous NUL when given s/$//n command.
[related to bug#32271, present since sed-4.0.7]
sed no longer accesses invalid memory (heap overflow) with s/$//n regexes.
[bug#32271, present since sed-4.3].
** New Features
New option, --debug: print the input sed script in canonical form
and annotate program execution.
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.5 (2018-03-31) [stable]
** Bug fixes
sed now fails when matching very long input lines (>2GB).
Before, sed would silently ignore the regex without indicating an
error. [Bug present at least since sed-3.02]
sed no longer rejects comments and closing braces after y/// commands.
[Bug existed at least since sed-3.02]
sed -E --posix no longer ignores special meaning of '+','?','|' .
[Bug introduced in the original implementation of --posix option in
v4.1a-5-gba68fb4]
sed -i now creates selinux context based on the context of the symlink
instead of the symlink target. [Bug present since at least sed-4.2]
sed -i --follow-symlinks remains unchanged.
sed now treats the sequence '\x5c' (ASCII 92, backslash) as literal
backslash character, not as an escape prefix character.
[Bug present since sed-3.02.80]
Old behavior:
$ echo z | sed -E 's/(z)/\x5c1/' # identical to 's/(z)/\1/'
z
New behavior:
$ echo z | sed -E 's/(z)/\x5c1/'
\1
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.4 (2017-02-03) [stable]
** Bug fixes
sed could segfault when invoked with specific combination of newlines
in the input and regex pattern. [Bug introduced in sed-4.3]
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.3 (2016-12-30) [stable]
** Improvements
sed's regular expression matching is now typically 10x faster
sed now uses unlocked-io where available, resulting in faster I/O
operations.
** Bug fixes
sed no longer mishandles anchors ^/$ in multiline regex (s///mg)
with -z option (NUL terminated lines). [Bug introduced in sed-4.2.2
with the initial implementation of -z]
sed no longer accepts a ":" command without a label; before, it would
treat that as defining a label whose name is empty, and subsequent
label-free "t" and "b" commands would use that label. Now, sed emits
a diagnostic and fails for that invalid construct.
sed no longer accesses uninitialized memory when processing certain
invalid multibyte sequences. Demonstrate with this:
echo a | LC_ALL=ja_JP.eucJP valgrind sed/sed 's/a/b\U\xb2c/'
The error appears to have been introduced with the sed-4.0a release.
The 'y' (transliterate) operator once again works with a NUL byte
on the RHS. E.g., sed 'y/b/\x00/' now works like tr b '\0'. GNU sed
has never before recognized \x00 in this context. However, sed-3.02
and prior did accept a literal NUL byte in the RHS, which was possible
only when reading a script from a file. For example, this:
echo abc|sed -f <(printf 'y/b/\x00/\n')|cat -A
is what stopped working. [bug introduced some time after sed-3.02 and
prior to the first sed-4* test release]
When the closed-above line number ranges of N editing commands
overlap (N>1), sed would apply commands 2..N to the line just
beyond the largest range endpoint.
[bug introduced some time after sed-4.09 and prior to release in sed-4.1]
Before, this command would mistakenly modify line 5:
$ seq 6|sed '2,4d;2,3s/^/x/;3,4s/^/y/'
1
yx5
6
Now, it does not:
$ seq 6|sed '2,4d;2,3s/^/x/;3,4s/^/y/'
1
5
6
An erroneous sed invocation like "echo > F; sed -i s//b/ F" no longer
leaves behind a temporary file. Before, that command would create a file
alongside F with a name matching /^sed......$/ and fail to remove it.
sed --follow-symlinks now works again for stdin.
[bug introduced in sed-4.2.2]
sed no longer elides invalid bytes in a substitution RHS.
Now, sed copies such bytes into the output, just as Perl does.
[bug introduced in sed-4.1 -- it was also present prior to 4.0.6]
sed no longer prints extraneous character when a backslash follows \c.
'\c\\' generates control character ^\ (ASCII 0x1C).
Other characters after the second backslash are rejected (e.g. '\c\d').
[bug introduced in the sed-4.0.* releases]
sed no longer mishandles incomplete multibyte sequences in s,y commands
and valid multibyte SHIFT-JIS characters in character classes.
Previously, the following commands would fail:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 sed $'s/\316/X/'
LC_ALL=ja_JP.shiftjis sed $'/[\203]/]/p'
[bug introduced some time after sed-4.1.5 and before sed-4.2.1]
** Feature removal
The "L" command (format a paragraph like the fmt(1) command would)
has been listed in the documentation as a failed experiment for at
least 10 years. That command is now removed.
** Build-related
"make dist" now builds .tar.xz files, rather than .tar.gz ones.
xz is portable enough and in wide-enough use that distributing
only .tar.xz files is enough. It has been fine for coreutils, grep,
diffutils and parted for a few years.
** New Features
new --sandbox option rejects programs with r/w/e commands.
* Noteworthy changes in release 4.2.2 (2012-12-22) [stable]
* don't misbehave (truncate input) for lines of length 2^31 and longer
* fix endless loop on incomplete multibyte sequences
* -u also does unbuffered input, rather than unbuffered output only
* New command 'F' to print current input file name
* sed -i, s///w, and the 'w' and 'W' commands also obey the --binary option
(and create CR/LF-terminated files if the option is absent)
* --posix fails for scripts (or fragments as passed to the -e option) that
end in a backslash, as they are not portable.
* New option -z (--null-data) to separate lines by ASCII NUL characters.
* \x26 (and similar escaped sequences) produces a literal & in the
replacement argument of the s/// command, rather than including the
matched text.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.2.1
* fix parsing of s/[[[[[[[[[]//
* security contexts are preserved by -i too under SELinux
* temporary files for sed -i are not made group/world-readable until
they are complete
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.2
* now released under GPLv3
* added a new extension 'z' to clear pattern space even in the presence
of invalid multibyte sequences
* a preexisting GNU gettext installation is needed in order to compile
GNU sed with NLS support
* new option --follow-symlinks, available when editing a file in-place.
This option may not be available on some systems (in this case, the
option will *not* be a no-op; it will be completely unavailable).
In the future, the option may be added as a no-op on systems without
symbolic links at all, since in this case a no-op is effectively
indistinguishable from a correct implementation.
* hold-space is reset between different files in -i and -s modes.
* multibyte processing fixed
* the following GNU extensions are turned off by --posix: options [iImMsSxX]
in the 's' command, address kinds 'FIRST~STEP' and 'ADDR1,+N' and 'ADDR1,~N',
line address 0, 'e' or 'z' commands, text between an 'a' or 'c' or 'i'
command and the following backslash, arguments to the 'l' command.
--posix disables all extensions to regular expressions.
* fixed bug in 'i\' giving a segmentation violation if given alone.
* much improved portability
* much faster in UTF-8 locales
* will correctly replace ACLs when using -i
* will now accept NUL bytes for '.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.1.5
* fix parsing of a negative character class not including a closed bracket,
like [^]] or [^]a-z].
* fix parsing of [ inside an y command, like y/[/A/.
* output the result of commands a, r, R when a q command is found.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.1.4
* \B correctly means "not on a word boundary" rather than "inside a word"
* bugfixes for platform without internationalization
* more thorough testing framework for tarballs ('make full-distcheck')
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.1.3
* regex addresses do not use leftmost-longest matching. In other words,
/.\+/ only looks for a single character, and does not try to find as
many of them as possible like it used to do.
* added a note to BUGS and the manual about changed interpretation
of 's|abc\|def||', and about localization issues.
* fixed --disable-nls build problems on Solaris.
* fixed 'make check' in non-English locales.
* 'make check' tests the regex library by default if the included regex
is used (regex tests had to be enabled separately up to now).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.1.2
* fix bug in 'y' command in multi-byte character sets
* fix severe bug in parsing of ranges with an embedded open bracket
* fix off-by-one error when printing a "bad command" error
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.1.1
* preserve permissions of in-place edited files
* yield an error when running -i on terminals or other non regular files
* do not interpret - as stdin when using in-place editing mode
* fix bug that prevented 's' command modifiers from working
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.1
* // matches the last regular expression even in POSIXLY_CORRECT mode.
* change the way we treat lines which are not terminated by a newline.
Such lines are printed without the terminating newline (as before)
but as soon as more text is sent to the same output stream, the
missing newline is printed, so that the two lines don't concatenate.
The behavior is now independent from POSIXLY_CORRECT because POSIX
actually has undefined behavior in this case, and the new implementation
arguably gives the "least expected surprise". Thanks to Stepan
Kasal for the implementation.
* documentation improvements, with updated references to the POSIX.2
specification
* error messages on I/O errors are better, and -i does not leave temporary
files around (e.g. when running "sed -i" on a directory).
* escapes are accepted in the y command (for example: y/o/\n/ transforms
o's into newlines)
* -i option tries to set the owner and group to the same as the input file
* 'L' command is deprecated and will be removed in sed 4.2.
* line number addresses are processed differently -- this is supposedly
conformant to POSIX and surely more idiot-proof. Line number addresses
are not affected by jumping around them: they are activated and
deactivated exactly where the script says, while previously
5,8b
1,5d
would actually delete lines 1,2,3,4 and 9 (!).
* multibyte characters are taken in consideration to compute the
operands of s and y, provided you set LC_CTYPE correctly. They are
also considered by \l, \L, \u, \U, \E.
* [\n] matches either backslash or 'n' when POSIXLY_CORRECT.
* new option --posix, disables all GNU extensions. POSIXLY_CORRECT only
disables GNU extensions that violate the POSIX standard.
* options -h and -V are not supported anymore, use --help and --version.
* removed documentation for \s and \S which worked incorrectly
* restored correct behavior for \w and \W: match [[:alnum:]_] and
[^[:alnum:]_] (they used to match [[:alpha:]_] and [^[:alpha:]_]
* the special address 0 can only be used in 0,/RE/ or 0~STEP addresses;
other cases give an error (you are hindering portability for no reason
if specifying 0,N and you are giving a dead command if specifying 0
alone).
* when a \ is used to escape the character that would terminate an operand
of the s or y commands, the backslash is removed before the regex is
compiled. This is left undefined by POSIX; this behavior makes 's+x\+++g'
remove occurrences of 'x+', consistently with 's/x\///g'. (However, if
you enjoy yourself trying 's*x\***g', sed will use the 'x*' regex, and you
won't be able to pass down 'x\*' while using * as the delimiter; ideas on
how to simplify the parser in this respect, and/or gain more coherent
semantics, are welcome).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.9
* 0 address behaves correctly in single-file (-i and -s) mode.
* documentation improvements.
* tested with many hosts and compilers.
* updated regex matcher from upstream, with many bugfixes and speedups.
* the 'N' command's feature that is detailed in the BUGS file was disabled
by the first change below in sed 4.0.8. The behavior has now been
restored, and is only enabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT behavior is not
requested.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.8
* fix 'sed n' printing the last line twice.
* fix incorrect error message for invalid character classes.
* fix segmentation violation with repeated empty subexpressions.
* fix incorrect parsing of ^ after escaped (.
* more comprehensive test suite (and with many expected failures...)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.7
* VPATH builds working on non-glibc machines
* fixed bug in s///Np: was printing even if less than N matches were
found.
* fixed infinite loop on s///N when LHS matched a null string and
there were not enough matches in pattern space
* behavior of s///N is consistent with s///g when the LHS can match
a null string (and the infinite loop did not happen :-)
* updated some translations
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.6
* added parameter to 'v' for the version of sed that is expected.
* configure switch --without-included-regex to use the system regex matcher
* fix for -i option under Cygwin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.5
* portability fixes
* improvements to some error messages (e.g. y/abc/defg/ incorrectly said
'excess characters after command' instead of 'y arguments have different
lengths')
* 'a', 'i', 'l', 'L', 'r' accept two addresses except in POSIXLY_CORRECT
mode. Only 'q' and 'Q' do not accept two addresses in standard (GNU) mode.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.4
* documentation fixes
* update regex matcher
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.3
* fix packaging problem (two missing translation catalogs)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.2
* more translations
* fix build problems (vpath builds and bootstrap builds)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0.1
* Remove last vestiges of super-sed
* man page automatically built
* more translations provided
* portability improvements
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 4.0
* Update regex matcher
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 3.96
* 'y' command supports multibyte character sets
* Update regex matcher
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 3.95
* 'R' command reads a single line from a file.
* CR-LF pairs are always ignored under Windows, even if (under Cygwin)
a disk is mounted as binary.
* More attention to errors on stdout
* New 'W' command to write first line of pattern space to a file
* Can customize line wrap width on single 'l' commands
* 'L' command formats and reflows paragraphs like 'fmt' does.
* The test suite makefiles are better organized (this change is
transparent however).
* Compiles and bootstraps out-of-the-box under MinGW32 and Cygwin.
* Optimizes cases when pattern space is truncated at its start or at
its end by 'D' or by a substitution command with an empty RHS.
For example scripts like this,
seq 1 10000 | tr \\n \ | ./sed ':a; s/^[0-9][0-9]* //; ta'
whose behavior was quadratic with previous versions of sed, have
now linear behavior.
* New command 'e' to pipe the output of a command into the output
of sed.
* New option 'e' to pass the output of the 's' command through the
Bourne shell and get the result into pattern space.
* Switched to obstacks in the parser -- less memory-related bugs
(there were none AFAIK but you never know) and less memory usage.
* New option -i, to support in-place editing a la Perl. Usually one
had to use ed or, for more complex tasks, resort to Perl; this is
not necessary anymore.
* Dumped buffering code. The performance loss is 10%, but it caused
bugs in systems with CRLF termination. The current solution is
not definitive, though.
* Bug fix: Made the behavior of s/A*/x/g (i.e. 's' command with a
possibly empty LHS) more consistent:
pattern GNU sed 3.x GNU sed 4.x
B xBx xBx
BC xBxCx xBxCx
BAC xBxxCx xBxCx
BAAC xBxxCx xBxCx
* Bug fix: the // empty regular expressions now refers to the last
regular expression that was matched, rather than to the last
regular expression that was compiled. This richer behavior seems
to be the correct one (albeit neither one is POSIXLY_CORRECT).
* Check for invalid backreferences in the RHS of the 's' command
(e.g. s/1234/\1/)
* Support for \[lLuUE] in the RHS of the 's' command like in Perl.
* New regular expression matcher
* Bug fix: if a file was redirected to be stdin, sed did not consume
it. So
(sed d; sed G) < TESTFILE
double-spaced TESTFILE, while the equivalent 'useless use of cat'
cat TESTFILE | (sed d; sed G)
printed nothing (which is the correct behavior). A test for this
bug was added to the test suite.
* The documentation is now much better, with a few examples provided,
and a thorough description of regular expressions. The manual often
refers to "GNU extensions", but if they are described here they are
specific to this version.
* Documented command-line option:
-r, --regexp-extended
Use extended regexps -- e.g. (abc+) instead of \(abc\+\)
* Added feature to the 'w' command and to the 'w' option of the 's'
command: if the file name is /dev/stderr, it means the standard
error (inspired by awk); and similarly for /dev/stdout. This is
disabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
* Added 'm' and 'M' modifiers to 's' command for multi-line
matching (Perl-style); in addresses, only 'M' works.
* Added 'Q' command for 'silent quit'; added ability to pass
an exit code from a sed script to the caller.
* Added 'T' command for 'branch if failed'.
* Added 'v' command, which is a do-nothing intended to fail on
seds that do not support GNU sed 4.0's extensions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 3.02.80
* Started new version nomenclature for pre-3.03 releases. (I'm being
pessimistic in assuming that .90 won't give me enough breathing room.)
* Bug fixes: the regncomp()/regnexec() interfaces proved to be inadequate to
properly handle expressions such as "s/\</#/g". Re-abstracted the regex
code in the sed/ tree, and now use the re_search_2() interface to the GNU
regex routines. This change also fixed a bug where /./ did not match the
NUL character. Had the glibc folk fix a bug in lib/regex.c where
's/0*\([0-9][0-9]\)/X\1X/' failed to match on input "002".
* Added new command-line options:
-u, --unbuffered
Do not attempt to read-ahead more than required; do not buffer stdout.
-l N, --line-length=N
Specify the desired line-wrap length for the 'l' command.
A length of "0" means "never wrap".
* New internationalization translations added: fr ru de it el sk pt_BR sv
(plus nl from 3.02a).
* The s/// command now understands the following escapes
(in both halves):
\a an "alert" (BEL)
\f a form-feed
\n a newline
\r a carriage-return
\t a horizontal tab
\v a vertical tab
\oNNN a character with the octal value NNN
\dNNN a character with the decimal value NNN
\xNN a character with the hexadecimal value NN
This behavior is disabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, at least for the
time being (until I can be convinced that this behavior does not violate
the POSIX standard). (Incidentally, \b (backspace) was omitted because
of the conflict with the existing "word boundary" meaning. \ooo octal
format was omitted because of the conflict with backreference syntax.)
* If POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, the empty RE // now is the null match
instead of "repeat the last REmatch". As far as I can tell
this behavior is mandated by POSIX, but it would break too many
legacy sed scripts to blithely change GNU sed's default behavior.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 3.02a
* Added internationalization support, and an initial (already out of date)
set of Dutch message translations (both provided by Erick Branderhorst).
* Added support for scripts like:
sed -e 1ifoo -e '$abar'
(note no need for \ <newline> after a, i, and c commands).
Also, conditionally (on NO_INPUT_INDENT) added
experimental support for skipping leading whitespace on
each {a,i,c} input line.
* Added addressing of the form:
/foo/,+5 p (print from foo to 5th line following)
/foo/,~5 p (print from foo to next line whose line number is a multiple of 5)
The first address of these can be any of the previously existing
addressing types; the +N and ~N forms are only allowed as the
second address of a range.
* Added support for pseudo-address "0" as the first address in an
address-range, simplifying scripts which happen to match the end
address on the first line of input. For example, a script
which deletes all lines from the beginning of the file to the
first line which contains "foo" is now simply "sed 0,/foo/d",
whereas before one had to go through contortions to deal with
the possibility that "foo" might appear on the first line of
the input.
* Made NUL characters in regexps work "correctly" --- i.e., a NUL
in a RE matches a NUL; it does not prematurely terminate the RE.
(This only works in -f scripts, as the POSIX.1 exec*() interface
only passes NUL-terminated strings, and so sed will only be able
to see up to the first NUL in any -e scriptlet.)
* Wherever a ';' is accepted as a command terminator, also allow a '}'
or a '#' to appear. (This allows for less cluttered-looking scripts.)
* Lots of internal changes that are only relevant to source junkies
and development testing. Some of which might cause imperceptible
performance improvements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 3.02
* Fixed a bug in the parsing of character classes (e.g., /[[:space:]]/).
Corrected an omission in djgpp/Makefile.am and an improper dependency
in testsuite/Makefile.am.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 3.01
* This version of sed mainly contains bug fixes and portability
enhancements, plus performance enhancements related to sed's handling
of input files. Due to excess performance penalties, I have reverted
(relative to 3.00) to using regex.c instead of the rx package for
regular expression handling, at the expense of losing true POSIX.2
BRE compatibility. However, performance related to regular expression
handling *still* needs a fair bit of work.
* One new feature has been added: regular expressions may be followed
with an "I" directive ("i" was taken [the "i"nsert command]) to
indicate that the regexp should be matched in a case-insensitive
manner. Also of note are a new organization to the source code,
new documentation, and a new maintainer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sed 3.0
* This version of sed passes the new test-suite donated by
Jason Molenda.
* Overall performance has been improved in the following sense: Sed 3.0
is often slightly slower than sed 2.05. On a few scripts, though, sed
2.05 was so slow as to be nearly useless or to use up unreasonable
amounts of memory. These problems have been fixed and in such cases,
sed 3.0 should have acceptable performance.
