“p” command prints the buffer (remember to use -n option with “p”)
“d” command is just opposite, its for deletion. ‘d’ will delete the pattern space buffer and immediately starts the next cycle.

Syntax:
# sed 'ADDRESS'd filename
# sed /PATTERN/d filename

Let us first creates thegeekstuff.txt file that will be used in all the examples mentioned below.

例子１:删除第ｎ行
sed ‘Nd’ filename
As per sed methodology,
It reads the first line and places in its pattern buffer.
Check whether supplied command is true for this line, if true, deletes pattern space buffer and starts next cycle. i.e Read next line.
If supplied command doesnt true, as its normal behaviour it prints the content of the pattern space buffer.
