Hi, "stdout" is something that depends on an understanding of how stdio.h works in ANSI C. Since the executable of sed is pretty much language-agnostic and we can't expect all the users of FreeBSD to be C programmers, I'd probably write this as: .It Fl l Make output line buffered. Other than this minor detail, the manpage diff looks fine (as long as we don't forget to bump the date too when it is committed).
