     RED(C)                   XENIX System V                    RED(C)



     Name
          red - Invokes a restricted version of ed(C).

     Syntax
          red [ file ]

     Description
          red is a restricted version of ed(C).  It will only allow
          editing of files in the current directory.  It prohibits
          executing sh(C) commands via the ! command. red displays an
          error message on any attempt to bypass these restrictions.

          In general, red does not allow commands like

               !date

          or

               !sh

          Furthermore, red will not allow pathnames in its command
          line.   For example, the command:

               red /etc/passwd

          when the current directory is not /etc causes an error.
