# ed
|
|
|
|
Ed is a line-oriented text editor, used to create, display, and modify text files (both interactively and via shell scripts).
|
|
For most purposes, ed has been replaced in normal usage by full-screen editors (emacs and vi, for example).
|
|
|
|
Ed was the original UNIX editor, and may be used by some programs.
|
|
In general, however, you probably don't need to install it and you probably won't use it much.
