NAME
se, SE - Information Systems Technologies - SysEdit
SYNOPSIS
se [ -n[k][i][s] ] [ -c command ] [ -f command_filename ] [
filename... ]
DESCRIPTION
se (SysEdit) is a display oriented text editor. SysEdit can
run as an interactive or stream editor and can edit TEXT or
BINARY files. Interactive users can remap the keyboard as
desired, build keyboard macros, execute command macros, log
changes, select and extract text, etc.
File sizes are limited to 140 million Bytes.
Line sizes are limited to 5096 bytes. Lines exceeding 5096
bytes will be split into smaller lines.
SysEdit operates in three user selectable modes. In EDIT
mode commands are executed to control and end the edit ses-
sion. SCREEN mode is used for full screen data entry and
modification. LINE mode is used when a TERMCAP supported
display is not available.
During an edit session all changes to the file are done in
memory and/or to a disk resident workfile image.
OPTIONS
-nk Request for No keyboard initialization. SysEdit
will not execute the ISTSE.$TERM keyboard ini-
tialization command file at startup. Note: Only
one -n sub-command is allowed.
-ni Request for No initialization. SysEdit will not
execute the ISTSE.CFG command files at startup.
-ns Request for No SCREEN mode. SysEdit will not
allow entry into SCREEN mode during the session.
-nkis Request No Keyboard, No editor initialization
and no SCREEN mode.
-c Set up for stream editing (non-interactive ses-
sion) and take command or macro from the command
line. The command or command macro should be
enclosed in double quotes ("). SCREEN mode is
disabled.
-f Set up for stream editing (non-interactive ses-
sion) and take EDIT mode commands from the
filename supplied. SCREEN mode is disabled.

ENVIRONMENT
The editor recognizes the environment variable PAGEPATH as a
path to the directory where SysEdit temporary files will be
created. The user must be able to temporarily store at
least filesize bytes. The PAGEPATH is only checked once at
the beginning of the session.
STARTUP
When SysEdit starts a session the first thing it does is
check to insure a valid license file exists in
/usr/local/IST. If it exists and is valid SysEdit examines
the users $HOME directory for the initialization file
ISTSE.$TERM. If the file is found the commands in it are
executed. If the file is not found then the ISTSE.$TERM
file in /usr/local/IST is executed. This file normally con-
tains initial MODE settings, KEY definitions and BINDings.
After the ISTSE.$TERM file is executed SysEdit executes the
ISTSE.CFG file if it exists in the current directory. If
not found in the current directory the users $HOME directory
is searched for the same file and if found it is executed.
EXAMPLES
The following command:
example% se
will start a session for editing a new (not yet named) file.
The following command:
example% se filename
will start a session for editing the requested filename.
The following command:
example% se -c "c/dog/cat/;n;*;file" *.c
will start a stream editing session that will change all
occurances of the string "dog" to "cat" in all files ending
with .c in the current directory.
