There were several revisions of sed 2.05.  I have 2.05-6

There is only one GNU sed 2.05.  You have the Redhat RPM sed-2.05-6,
which besides containing GNU sed 2.05, includes a manpage that is
incorrect.  The documentation is in error, not the program.


b) GNU sed takes the options printed with 'sed -h', no more and no less.
There is no -g.

There is no -g, except in the man page.  Which is why I raised the point.

I would suggest that you a) report this as a bug to RedHat; and b) edit
or remove the manpage.
