Subject: Major rewrite of s2p.  And I mean really major, it is
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=86a59229552fc742ed09795227799fb41537f06f;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

Major rewrite of s2p.  And I mean really major, it is
an implementation of sed in perl.  If called as s2p it
will function as s2p.  Note: needs non-UNIXifying.

 =head1 NAME
 
-s2p - Sed to Perl translator
+sed - a stream editor
 
 =head1 SYNOPSIS
 
-B<s2p [options] filename>
+   sed [-an] script [file ...]
+   sed [-an] [-e script] [-f script-file] [file ...]
 
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-I<s2p> takes a sed script specified on the command line (or from
-standard input) and produces a comparable I<perl> script on the
-standard output.
+A stream editor reads the input stream consisting of the specified files
+(or standard input, if none are given), processes is line by line by
+applying a script consisting of edit commands, and writes resulting lines
+to standard output. The filename `C<->' may be used to read standard input.
+
+The edit script is composed from arguments of B<-e> options and
+script-files, in the given order. A single script argument may be specified
+as the first parameter.
+
+If this program is invoked with the name F<s2p>, it will act as a
+sed-to-Perl translator. See L<"sed Script Translation">.
 
-=head2 Options
+B<sed> returns an exit code of 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.
 
-Options include:
+=head1 OPTIONS
 
-=over 5
+=over 4
 
-=item B<-DE<lt>numberE<gt>>
+=item B<-a>
 
-sets debugging flags.
+A file specified as argument to the B<w> edit command is by default
+opened before input processing starts. Using B<-a>, opening of such
+files is delayed until the first line is actually written to the file.
+
+=item B<-e> I<script>
+
+The editing commands defined by I<script> are appended to the script.
+Multiple commands must be separated by newlines.
+
+=item B<-f> I<script-file>
+
+Editing commands from the specified I<script-file> are read and appended
+to the script.
 
 =item B<-n>
 
-specifies that this sed script was always invoked with a B<sed -n>.
-Otherwise a switch parser is prepended to the front of the script.
+By default, a line is written to standard output after the editing script
+has been applied to it. The B<-n> option suppresses automatic printing.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 COMMANDS
+
+B<sed> command syntax is defined as
+
+Z<> Z<> Z<> Z<>[I<address>[B<,>I<address>]][B<!>]I<function>[I<argument>]
+
+with whitespace being permitted before or after addresses, and between
+the function character and the argument. The I<address>es and the
+address inverter (C<!>) are used to restrict the application of a
+command to the selected line(s) of input.
+
+Each command must be on a line of its own, except where noted in
+the synopses below.
+
+The edit cycle performed on each input line consist of reading the line
+(without its trailing newline character) into the I<pattern space>,
+applying the applicable commands of the edit script, writing the final
+contents of the pattern space and a newline to the standard output.
+A I<hold space> is provided for saving the contents of the
+pattern space for later use.
+
+=head2 Addresses
+
+A sed address is either a line number or a pattern, which may be combined
+arbitrarily to construct ranges. Lines are numbered across all input files.
+
+Any address may be followed by an exclamation mark (`C<!>'), selecting
+all lines not matching that address.
 
-=item B<-p>
+=over 4
 
-specifies that this sed script was never invoked with a B<sed -n>.
-Otherwise a switch parser is prepended to the front of the script.
+=item I<number>
+
+The line with the given number is selected.
+
+=item B<$>
+
+A dollar sign (C<$>) is the line number of the last line of the input stream.
+
+=item B</>I<regular expression>B</>
+
+A pattern address is a basic regular expression (see 
+L<"Basic Regular Expressions">), between the delimiting character C</>.
+Any other character except C<\> or newline may be used to delimit a
+pattern address when the initial delimiter is prefixed with a
+backslash (`C<\>').
 
 =back
 
-=head2 Considerations
+If no address is given, the command selects every line.
 
-The perl script produced looks very sed-ish, and there may very well
-be better ways to express what you want to do in perl.  For instance,
-s2p does not make any use of the split operator, but you might want
-to.
+If one address is given, it selects the line (or lines) matching the
+address.
 
-The perl script you end up with may be either faster or slower than
-the original sed script.  If you're only interested in speed you'll
-just have to try it both ways.  Of course, if you want to do something
-sed doesn't do, you have no choice.  It's often possible to speed up
-the perl script by various methods, such as deleting all references to
-$\ and chop.
+Two addresses select a range that begins whenever the first address
+matches, and ends (including that line) when the second address matches.
+If the first (second) address is a matching pattern, the second 
+address is not applied to the very same line to determine the end of
+the range. Likewise, if the second address is a matching pattern, the
+first address is not applied to the very same line to determine the
+begin of another range. If both addresses are line numbers,
+and the second line number is less than the first line number, then
+only the first line is selected.
 
-=head1 ENVIRONMENT
 
-s2p uses no environment variables.
+=head2 Functions
 
-=head1 AUTHOR
+The maximum permitted number of addresses is indicated with each
+function synopsis below.

+=head1 BASIC REGULAR EXPRESSIONS
+
+A I<Basic Regular Expression> (BRE), as defined in POSIX 1003.2, consists
+of I<atoms>, for matching parts of a string, and I<bounds>, specifying
+repetitions of a preceding atom.
+
+=head2 Atoms
+
+The possible atoms of a BRE are: B<.>, matching any single character;
+B<^> and B<$>, matching the null string at the beginning or end
+of a string, respectively; a I<bracket expressions>, enclosed
+in B<[> and B<]> (see below); and any single character with no
+other significance (matching that character). A B<\> before one
+of: B<.>, B<^>, B<$>, B<[>, B<*>, B<\>, matching the character
+after the backslash. A sequence of atoms enclosed in B<\(> and B<\)>
+becomes an atom and establishes the target for a I<backreference>,
+consisting of the substring that actually matches the enclosed atoms.
+Finally, B<\> followed by one of the digits B<0> through B<9> is a
+backreference.
+
+A B<^> that is not first, or a B<$> that is not last does not have
+a special significance and need not be preceded by a backslash to
+become literal. The same is true for a B<]>, that does not terminate
+a bracket expression.
+
+An unescaped backslash cannot be last in a BRE.
+
+=head2 Bounds
+
+The BRE bounds are: B<*>, specifying 0 or more matches of the preceding
+atom; B<\{>I<count>B<\}>, specifying that many repetitions;
+B<\{>I<minimum>B<,\}>, giving a lower limit; and
+B<\{>I<minimum>B<,>I<maximum>B<\}> finally defines a lower and upper
+bound. 
+
+A bound appearing as the first item in a BRE is taken literally.
+
+=head2 Bracket Expressions
+
+A I<bracket expression> is a list of characters, character ranges
+and character classes enclosed in B<[> and B<]> and matches any
+single character from the represented set of characters.
+
+A character range is written as two characters separated by B<-> and
+represents all characters (according to the character collating sequence)
+that are not less than the first and not greater than the second.
+(Ranges are very collating-sequence-dependent, and portable programs
+should avoid relying on them.)
+
+A character class is one of the class names
+
+   alnum     digit     punct
+   alpha     graph     space
+   blank     lower     upper
+   cntrl     print     xdigit
+
+enclosed in B<[:> and B<:]> and represents the set of characters
+as defined in ctype(3).
+
+If the first character after B<[> is B<^>, the sense of matching is
+inverted.
+
+To include a literal `C<^>', place it anywhere else but first. To
+include a literal 'C<]>' place it first or immediately after an
+initial B<^>. To include a literal `C<->' make it the first (or
+second after B<^>) or last character, or the second endpoint of
+a range.
+
+The special bracket expression constructs C<[[:E<lt>:]]> and C<[[:E<gt>:]]> 
+match the null string at the beginning and end of a word respectively.
+(Note that neither is identical to Perl's `\b' atom.)
+
+=head2 Additional Atoms
+
+Since some sed implementations provide additional regular expression
+atoms (not defined in POSIX 1003.2), B<psed> is capable of translating
+the following backslash escapes:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<\E<lt>> This is the same as C<[[:E<gt>:]]>.
+
+=item B<\E<gt>> This is the same as C<[[:E<lt>:]]>.
+
+=item B<\w> This is an abbreviation for C<[[:alnum:]_]>.
+
+=item B<\W> This is an abbreviation for C<[^[:alnum:]_]>.
+
+=item B<\y> Match the empty string at a word boundary.
+
+=item B<\B> Match the empty string between any two either word or non-word characters.
+
+=back
+
+To enable this feature, the environment variable PSEDEXTBRE must be set
+to a string containing the requested characters, e.g.:
+C<PSEDEXTBRE='E<lt>E<gt>wW'>.
+

+
+=item ambiguos translation for character `%s' in `y' command
+
+The indicated character appears twice, with different translations.
+
+=item `[' cannot be last in pattern
+
+A `[' in a BRE indicates the beginning of a I<bracket expression>.
+
+=item `\' cannot be last in pattern
+
+A `\' in a BRE is used to make the subsequent character literal.
+
+=item `\' cannot be last in substitution
+
+A `\' in a subsitution string is used to make the subsequent character literal.
+
+=item conflicting flags `%s'
+
+In an B<s> command, either the `g' flag and an n-th occurrence flag, or
+multiple n-th occurrence flags are specified. Note that only the digits
+`1' through `9' are permitted.

+
+The command has more than the permitted number of addresses.

+
+=item improper delimiter in s command
+
+The BRE and substitution may not be delimited with `\' or newline.

+
+=item invalid backreference (%s)
+
+The specified backreference number exceeds the number of backreferences

+=head1 EXAMPLE
+
+The basic material for the preceding section was generated by running
+the sed script
+
+   #no autoprint
+   s/^.*Warn( *"\([^"]*\)".*$/\1/
+   t process
+   b
+   :process
+   s/$!/%s/g
+   s/$[_[:alnum:]]\{1,\}/%s/g
+   s/\\\\/\\/g
+   s/^/=item /
+   p
+
+on the program's own text, and piping the output into C<sort -u>.
+
+
+=head1 SED SCRIPT TRANSLATION
+
+If this program is invoked with the name F<s2p> it will act as a
+sed-to-Perl translator. After option processing (all other
+arguments are ignored), a Perl program is printed on standard
+output, which will process the input stream (as read from all
+arguments) in the way defined by the sed script and the option setting
+used for the translation.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+perl(1), re_format(7)
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The B<l> command will show escape characters (ESC) as `C<\e>', but
+a vertical tab (VT) in octal.
+
+Trailing spaces are truncated from labels in B<:>, B<t> and B<b> commands.
+
+The meaning of an empty regular expression (`C<//>'), as defined by B<sed>,
+is "the last pattern used, at run time". This deviates from the Perl
+interpretation, which will re-use the "last last successfully executed
+regular expression". Since keeping track of pattern usage would create
+terribly cluttered code, and differences would only appear in obscure
+context (where other B<sed> implementations appear to deviate, too),
+the Perl semantics was adopted. Note that common usage of this feature,
+such as in C</abc/s//xyz/>, will work as expected.
+
+Collating elements (of bracket expressions in BREs) are not implemented.
+
+=head1 STANDARDS
+
+This B<sed> implementation conforms to the IEEE Std1003.2-1992 ("POSIX.2")
+definition of B<sed>, and is compatible with the I<OpenBSD>
+implementation, except where otherwise noted (see L<"BUGS">).
