The old wording was somehow implying that <start> and <end> were not regular expressions. Also, the common case is to use a plain function name here so <funcname> makes sense (the fact that it is a regular expression is documented in line-range-format.txt).

<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.
