Man page is very short. Check the info pages for full documentation. |
| 18 |
(Almost all tools from GNU userland have a short man page and a long |
| 19 |
info page. At least that is what they say right at the bottom.) |

Section 3.5 (The `s' Command) states in the first paragraph: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The syntax of the `s' (as in substitute) command is |
| 24 |
`s/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS'. The `/' characters may be uniformly |
| 25 |
replaced by any other single character within any given `s' command. |
| 26 |
The `/' character (or whatever other character is used in its stead) |
| 27 |
can appear in the REGEXP or REPLACEMENT only if it is preceded by a `\' |
| 28 |
character. |
