10.5. Alphabetical Summary of sed Commands

GNU sed lets you use the filenames /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and /dev/stderr to refer to standard input, output, and error, respectively, for the r, R, w, and W commands and the w flag to the s command.

GNU-specific commands or extensions are noted with {G} in the command synopsis. When the GNU version allows a command to have two addresses, the command is performed for each input line within the range.
