Command: gnu sed

  SED is a stream editor. A stream editor is used to perform basic text
  transformations on an input stream (a file or input from a pipeline).
  While in some ways similar to an editor which permits scripted edits
  (such as ED), SED works by making only one pass over the input(s), and
  is consequently more efficient. But it is SED's ability to filter text
  in a pipeline which particularly distinguishes it from other types of
  editors.

Syntax:

  sed [OPTION]... {script-only-if-no-other-script} [input-file]...

Options:

  -n, --quiet, --silent
                 suppress automatic printing of pattern space
  -e script, --expression=script
                 add the script to the commands to be executed
  -f script-file --file=script-file
                 add the contents of script-file to the commands to be
                 executed
  --follow-symlinks
                 follow symlinks when processing in place
  -i [SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX]
                 edit files in place (makes backup if SUFFIX supplied)
  -b, --binary
                 open files in binary mode (CR+LFs are not processed
                 specially)
  -l N, --line-length=N
                 specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command
  --posix
                 disable all GNU extensions.
  -r, --regexp-extended
                 use extended regular expressions in the script.
  -s, --separate
                 consider files as separate rather than as a single
                 continuous long stream
  -u, --unbuffered
                 load minimal amounts of data from the input files and
                 flush the output buffers more often
  -z, --null-data
                 separate lines by NUL characters
      --help     display this help and exit
      --version  output version information and exit
  If no -e, --expression, -f, or --file option is given, then the first
  non-option argument is taken as the sed script to interpret. All
  remaining arguments are names of input files; if no input files are
  specified, then the standard input is read

  GNUSED has an extensive documentation that is beyond the scope of

Examples:

  Delete the 6th line in a file:
    sed '6d' input.txt > output.txt
  Replace every occurence of 'hello' with 'world' on line 5-15
    sed '5,15s/hello/world/' input.txt > output.txt
  Gives 'Hallo Welt' to sed and replaces a by e and Welt by world:
    echo Hallo Welt | sed -e "s/a/e/" -e "s/Welt/world/"
