ed-0.2: description + notes
ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create,
display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both
interactively and via shell scripts. A restricted version, red,
can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell
commands. ed is the `standard' text editor in the sense that it
is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely available. For most
purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen editors such as
emacs.
