_<start>_ and _<end>_ can take one of these forms:
|
|
|
|
- _<number>_
|
|
+
|
|
If _<start>_ or _<end>_ is a number, it specifies an
|
|
absolute line number (lines count from 1).
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
- `/<regex>/`
|
|
+
|
|
This form will use the first line matching the given
|
|
POSIX _<regex>_. If _<start>_ is a regex, it will search from the end of
|
|
the previous `-L` range, if any, otherwise from the start of file.
|
|
If _<start>_ is `^/<regex>/`, it will search from the start of file.
|
|
If _<end>_ is a regex, it will search starting at the line given by
|
|
_<start>_.
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
- `+<offset>` or `-<offset>`
|
|
+
|
|
This is only valid for _<end>_ and will specify a number
|
|
of lines before or after the line given by _<start>_.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
If `:<funcname>` is given in place of _<start>_ and _<end>_, it is a
|
|
regular expression that denotes the range from the first funcname line
|
|
that matches _<funcname>_, up to the next funcname line. `:<funcname>`
|
|
searches from the end of the previous `-L` range, if any, otherwise
|
|
from the start of file. `^:<funcname>` searches from the start of
|
|
file. The function names are determined in the same way as `git diff`
|
|
works out patch hunk headers (see 'Defining a custom hunk-header'
|
|
in linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
