acme(4): correct description of addr file [rsc] --rw-rw-r-- M 467740 glenda sys 10392 Mar 12 09:14 sys/man/4/acme /n/sourcesdump/2006/0312/plan9/sys/man/4/acme:147,164 - /n/sourcesdump/2006/0313/plan9/sys/man/4/acme:147,166 When read, it returns the value of the address that would next be read or written through the .B data - file, in the format - .BI # m ,# n - where + file, formatted as 2 decimal numbers .I m and - .I n - are character (not byte) offsets. If - .I m + .IR n , + each formatted in 11 characters plus a blank. + .I M and .I n - are identical, the format is just - .BI # m\f1. + are the character (not byte) offsets of the + beginning and end of the address, + which would be expressed in + .I acme 's + input language as + .BI # m ,# n \fR. Thus a regular expression may be evaluated by writing it to .B addr and reading it back.
