RED(1)                  COMMAND REFERENCE                  RED(1)



NAME
     red - restricted text editor

SYNOPSIS
     red [ - ] [ -p[prompt] ] [ -q ] [ -x ] [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION
     Red is a restricted version of ed(1). It is used in
     conjunction with the restricted mode of sh(1sh).

     The differences between red and ed are that red will only
     allow the user to edit files in the current directory, and
     will not allow execution of shell commands using the !
     command. Attempts to bypass these restrictions results in an
     error message saying that the shell is restricted.

     See the documentation for ed for a description of the
     commands.

OPTIONS
     -  Suppresses the printing of character counts by e, r, and
        w commands, of diagnostics from e and q commands, and of
        the ! prompt after a ! shell command.

     -p[prompt]
        Causes the specified prompt to be printed when ed has
        finished with a command and is waiting for the next one.
        If no prompt is specified, * is used.  Without the -p
        option, no prompting is done.

     -q Allows the signal SIGQUIT (normally generated by the
        character <\>) to terminate the edit session, and turns
        off the - option. Normally, SIGQUIT is ignored.

     -x An X command is simulated first to handle an encrypted
        file.

EXAMPLES
     The following input causes the @ prompt to be printed when
     ed is done with a command:

          red -p@

FILES
     /tmp/e#
            Temporary; # is the process number.

     ed.hup Work is saved here if the terminal is hung up.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.
