HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1 User Commands A-M (vol 1)

e
ed(1) ed(1)
If the editor input is coming from a command file (e.g.,
ed file < ed-cmd-file) , the editor exits at
the first failure of a command in the command file.
When reading a file,
ed discards ASCII NUL characters and all characters after the last newline. This can
cause unexpected behavior when using regular expressions to search for character sequences containing
NUL characters or text near end-of-file.
AUTHOR
ed was developed by HP and OSF.
FILES
/tmp/ep Temporary buffer file where p is the process number.
ed.hup Work is saved here if the terminal is hung up.
