## NAME

wreplace - Replace an address with the contents of stdin.

## SYNOPSIS

**Goto** \[**-v**\] \[**-c**\] \[**-b**\] *address*

## OPTIONS

- **-v**

  If the **-v** option is present, *Goto* prints its version number and date and exits.

- **-c**

  If the **-c** option is present, *wreplace* creates the window if necessary.

- **-b**

  If the **-b** option is present, *wreplace* sets the backup flag on any windows it creates.

- **-d**

  ## DESCRIPTION

*wreplace* must be able to connect to a running  *wily*(1).

*wreplace* searches for  *address* and replaces it with the contents of the standard input. *address* must be a valid wily address.

## RETURNS

## EXAMPLES

```
ls | wreplace -c -b MANIFEST:,
```
