- This version of ed is different to the C versions because it's trivial to run it under the perl debugger, e.g. setting a breakpoint in edParse() or input()
- The debug info produced by running "ed -d" is limited, and other versions of ed don't provide an equivalent option
- Sync usage string + SYNOPSIS
- Add symbolic exit codes as done in other scripts

I don't particularly agree with this change in principle, but if the -d
really doesn't help because it has low instrumentation, yeah, rip it out. If there was good instrumentation, I'd probably go the other way.
changes: remove -d (debugging) switch since the debugging output isn't that helpful |
