This chapter includes:
The qed utility is a fullscreen editor for
both your console and attached terminals.
|
This editor has been shipped with QNX since the early days of the QNX 2
operating system.
It has been ported to QNX Neutrino for the convenience of the many people who
have become accustomed to it.
However, it's no longer the preferred editor in QNX Neutrino and its use is
deprecated.
Consequently, this documentation is provided “as is.” |
This documentation has been divided into several major sections:
- Tutorial Guide
- This section consists of a conversational introduction
to the Full Screen Editor (qed). It
contains examples which should be attempted on your PC as you
read. It is highly recommended that all users of qed
read this guide. The first several pages contain a
complete reference to all the defined function and cursor keys. It will
help you correlate the many functions available. Upon completion of the
guide you should be capable of performing most editing tasks. For
most users, this may be all you need to know about the editor.
- Using qed on non-QNX Terminal Types
- This section describes how to configure the system to run
qed from attached terminals.
- Reference Manual — Editor Commands
- This section consists of a detailed description
of every command supported by the editor. You will discover that
the defined function and cursor keys are in fact implemented as one
or more of these commands. Anyone who is going to be using the editor
on a regular basis should read the preliminary sections up to the
Append command. The description of the Substitute
and Global commands
are also highly recommended. Should you wish to define your own function
key operations then it is imperative that you read and understand all
sections.
- Defining Macros
- This section has been written as a tutorial guide
in the writing of macros. It should be sufficient to get you started.
However, the best way to learn about macros is to experiment.
- Error Messages (Appendix A)
- This section details the error messages you may get from qed,
and explains their meaning.
- Quick Reference
- This section is a quick overview of the function
keys which relate to word processing. They are also discussed in the
tutorial introduction and are repeated here as a quick reference.
Throughout this manual, we use certain typographical conventions to
distinguish technical terms. In general, the conventions we use
conform to those found in IEEE POSIX publications. The following table
summarizes our conventions:
Reference |
Example |
Code examples |
if( stream == NULL ) |
Command options |
-lR |
Commands |
make |
Environment variables |
PATH |
File and pathnames |
/dev/null |
Function names |
exit() |
Keyboard chords |
Ctrl-Alt-Delete |
Keyboard input |
something you type |
Keyboard keys |
Enter |
Program output |
login: |
Programming constants |
NULL |
Programming data types |
unsigned short |
Programming literals |
0xFF, "message string" |
Variable names |
stdin |
User-interface components
|
Cancel |
We use an arrow (→) in directions for accessing menu
items, like this:
You'll find the Other... menu item under
.
We use notes, cautions, and warnings to highlight important
messages:
|
Notes point out something important or useful. |
|
Cautions tell you about commands or procedures that may have
unwanted or undesirable side effects. |
|
Warnings tell you about commands or procedures that could be
dangerous to your files, your hardware, or even yourself. |
In our documentation, we use a forward slash
(/) as a delimiter in all pathnames,
including those pointing to Windows files.
We also generally follow POSIX/UNIX filesystem conventions.
At the top and bottom of our HTML docs, you'll see some or all of these
buttons:

“Up” in the document:
- In a prose book, this typically takes you to About This Guide.
- In a reference book, it takes you to the listing of items
that start with a given letter.
For example, if you're looking at the docs for abs(),
this button takes you to the listing of the functions that start
with A.

To the keyword index.
