'<start>' and '<end>' can take one of these forms:
|
|
|
|
- number
|
|
+
|
|
If '<start>' or '<end>' is a number, it specifies an
|
|
absolute line number (lines count from 1).
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
- `/regex/`
|
|
+
|
|
This form will use the first line matching the given
|
|
POSIX regex. If '<start>' is a regex, it will search from the end of
|
|
the previous `-L` range, if any, otherwise from the start of file.
|
|
If '<start>' is `^/regex/`, it will search from the start of file.
|
|
If '<end>' is a regex, it will search
|
|
starting at the line given by '<start>'.
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
- +offset or -offset
|
|
+
|
|
This is only valid for '<end>' and will specify a number
|
|
of lines before or after the line given by '<start>'.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
If `:<funcname>` is given in place of '<start>' and '<end>', it is a
|
|
regular expression that denotes the range from the first funcname line
|
|
that matches '<funcname>', up to the next funcname line. `:<funcname>`
|
|
searches from the end of the previous `-L` range, if any, otherwise
|
|
from the start of file. `^:<funcname>` searches from the start of
|
|
file.
