GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. GNU ed is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts.
A restricted version of `ed', `red', can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. `ed' is the `standard' text editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely available.
