\- stop a pipe for $EDITOR intervention
.SH SYNOPSIS

ped
| prog2
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ped
saves all its standard input into a temporary file and runs $EDITOR, or ed(1)
if unset, on that file. Once the editor exits, it emits the contents of the
same file (changed or unchanged). This can be used as a way to edit data
manually as it goes through a pipe.
