+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.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.
