1 | <start> and <end> can take one of these forms: |
2 | ||
25ed3412 BY |
3 | - number |
4 | + | |
5 | If <start> or <end> is a number, it specifies an | |
6 | absolute line number (lines count from 1). | |
7 | + | |
8 | ||
9 | - /regex/ | |
10 | + | |
11 | This form will use the first line matching the given | |
0bc2cdd5 ES |
12 | POSIX regex. If <start> is a regex, it will search from the end of |
13 | the previous `-L` range, if any, otherwise from the start of file. | |
a6ac5f98 | 14 | If <start> is ``^/regex/'', it will search from the start of file. |
0bc2cdd5 | 15 | If <end> is a regex, it will search |
25ed3412 BY |
16 | starting at the line given by <start>. |
17 | + | |
18 | ||
19 | - +offset or -offset | |
20 | + | |
21 | This is only valid for <end> and will specify a number | |
22 | of lines before or after the line given by <start>. | |

0ddd4719 | 25 | If ``:<regex>'' is given in place of <start> and <end>, it denotes the range |
13b8f68c | 26 | from the first funcname line that matches <regex>, up to the next |
1ce761a5 ES |
27 | funcname line. ``:<regex>'' searches from the end of the previous `-L` range, |
28 | if any, otherwise from the start of file. | |
215e76c7 | 29 | ``^:<regex>'' searches from the start of file. |
