After the optional word designator, you can add a sequence of one or more
of the following modifiers, each preceded by a :.
h
- Remove a trailing pathname component, leaving only the head.
r
- Remove a trailing suffix of the form `.'suffix, leaving the basename.
e
- Remove all but the trailing suffix.
t
- Remove all leading pathname components, leaving the tail.
p
- Print the new command but do not execute it.
q
- Quote the substituted words, escaping further substitutions.
x
- Quote the substituted words as with
q,
but break into words at spaces, tabs, and newlines.
s/old/new/
- Substitute new for the first occurrence of old in the
event line. Any delimiter may be used in place of /.
The delimiter may be quoted in old and new
with a single backslash. If & appears in new,
it is replaced by old. A single backslash will quote
the &. The final delimiter is optional if it is the last
character on the input line.
&
- Repeat the previous substitution.
g
- Cause changes to be applied over the entire event line. Used in
conjunction with
s, as in gs/old/new/, or with
&.
