Oh, sorry. I thought the german man pages were just translations of the |
| 17 |
original man pages, but at least the one for sed is entirely different. It |
| 18 |
also mentions the flags like g to replace globally, not only the first |
| 19 |
instance. |

Here is the OpenBSD man page for sed, it has more information. However, this |
| 22 |
sed is a little different from our GNU sed. For example, it does not have |
| 23 |
the -i option. |
