I thing this one removes not just "coys11" it removes all the line which inherits c,o,y,s,1.
if he just want to remove just coys11
grep -v -w joys11 inpufile is better. But I thing he wants something else

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
