Author: bcr (doc committer) Date: Mon Apr 24 16:52:26 2017 New Revision: 317378 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/317378 Log: Fix the last example to really replace all occurrences of the search string in the file by adding the global (g) option at the end. Without it, only the first match is replaced, subsequent ones are ignored. The intention of the example is to demonstrate something else, but adding the g matches the example to what the description says.
