Synopsis: sed file handing is non-standard
State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: sheldonh
State-Changed-When: Mon Dec 10 04:11:02 PST 2001
State-Changed-Why:
FreeBSD's sed(1) demands a file parameter because it's not optional for
the w flag in POSIX.2 ('92 edition). The semantics for the r flag are
taken from the w flag.
This change would meet with less resistence if you could find a more
recent standard that prescribes optional arguments to the w flag (and
possible the r flag).
If you need help getting such information, try the freebsd-standards
mailing list.
