Linux in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition

Name

n

Synopsis

[address1[,address2]]n
               

Read next line of input into pattern space. The current line is sent to standard output, and the next line becomes the current line. Control passes to the command following n instead of resuming at the top of the script.

Example

In the ms macros, a section header occurs on the line below an .NH macro. To print all lines of header text, invoke this script with sed -n:

                  /^\.NH/{
                  n
                  p
                  }
