HP-UX Reference (11i v2 04/09) - 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 contain-
ing 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.
