 | | Normally, sed cyclically copies a line of input, not including its terminating newline character, into a pattern space, (unless there is something left after a ``D'' function), applies all of the commands with addresses that select that pattern space, copies the pattern space to the standard output, appending a newline, and deletes the pattern space. |
 | | An address is not required, but if specified must be a number (that counts input lines cumulatively across input files), a dollar (``$'') character that addresses the last line of input, or a context address (which consists of a regular expression preceded and followed by a delimiter). |
 | | This function does nothing; it bears a label to which the ``b'' and ``t'' commands may branch. |
