<h4 class="subsection">33.1.3 Modifiers</h4>
<p>After the optional word designator, you can add a sequence of one or more
of the following modifiers, each preceded by a &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">:</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<dl>
<dt><code>h</code><dd>Remove a trailing pathname component, leaving only the head.
<br><dt><code>t</code><dd>Remove all leading pathname components, leaving the tail.
<br><dt><code>r</code><dd>Remove a trailing suffix of the form &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">.</span><var>suffix</var></samp>&rsquo;, leaving
the basename.
<br><dt><code>e</code><dd>Remove all but the trailing suffix.
<br><dt><code>p</code><dd>Print the new command but do not execute it.
<br><dt><code>s/</code><var>old</var><code>/</code><var>new</var><code>/</code><dd>Substitute <var>new</var> for the first occurrence of <var>old</var> in the
event line. Any delimiter may be used in place of &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">/</span></samp>&rsquo;.
The delimiter may be quoted in <var>old</var> and <var>new</var>
with a single backslash. If &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">&amp;</span></samp>&rsquo; appears in <var>new</var>,
it is replaced by <var>old</var>. A single backslash will quote
the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">&amp;</span></samp>&rsquo;. The final delimiter is optional if it is the last
character on the input line.
<br><dt><code>&amp;</code><dd>Repeat the previous substitution.
<br><dt><code>g</code><dt><code>a</code><dd>Cause changes to be applied over the entire event line. Used in
conjunction with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">s</span></samp>&rsquo;, as in <code>gs/</code><var>old</var><code>/</code><var>new</var><code>/</code>,
or with &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">&amp;</span></samp>&rsquo;.
<br><dt><code>G</code><dd>Apply the following &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">s</span></samp>&rsquo; modifier once to each word in the event.
