You treat it just like sed (see "man sed") for the most part, except that when you give it filenames, instead of reciting their content to stdout, edited, it rewrites each file with those edits. It uses sed internally to do the work. So this: sed 's/this/that/g' file write "file"'s content to stdout with "this" replaced by "that". This: bsed 's/this/that/g' file edits the file itself the same way. Very handy for large scale simple changes.
