NAME

       sedsed - debugger and code formatter for sed scripts

SYNOPSIS

       sedsed OPTION [-e sedscript] [-f sedscriptfile] [inputfile]

DESCRIPTION

       sedsed can debug, indent, tokenize and HTMLize sed scripts.

       In  debug mode, it reads the target script and adds extra commands to it. When executed it
       shows the data flow between the commands, revealing all the magic sed does on its internal
       buffers.

       In indent mode, the script is reformatted with standard spacing.

       In tokenize mode, it shows the elements of every command used.

       In  HTMLize  mode,  the script is converted to a beautiful colored HTML file, with all the
       commands and parameters identified for best viewing.
