<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.
