The 'sed' command is the Stream Editor. It is a batch, non-interactive editor to use when you know ahead of time what kinds of edits you want to do on a file. Most editors are designed to be used interactively, in real time, when editing files. This program is not. It is used very commonly with unattended scripts running by themselves with no user monitoring them.

What is a filter in Unix?

A Unix filter is a command pattern that allows the output of one command to be "piped" into the input of the next command. Commands like 'ls' which list a directory are not filters since they only generate output. Filter examples are grep, sed, sort, uniq, awk. Commands in Unix are usually filters unless they only create output, like 'ls', 'vi', etc.
