- For line number syntax, type "hln".
- For details about PATTERNs, type "hpat".
-
- A line number term consisting of a PATTERN between slashes
- causes a scan to begin with the line after the current line.
- If the last line is encountered, the scan continues with line
- 1. The current line is the last to be examined. The line
- referred to is the first line encountered in the scan that
- contains a match for the pattern. If the entire buffer
- contains no match, then an error is flagged. If the pattern
- is enclosed in question marks, the scan is in the reverse
- direction and begins with the line just before the current
- line, and wraps around to the last line after line 1 is
- examined. ">" and "<" mark name searches proceed in the same
- wraparound fashion.
