sed is a programmable text filter, nothing more, nothing less. Why its use should be limited to files when its normal modus operandi is to work in a pipeline eludes me.

csh is not the standard shell (mostly because three is no such thing as the standard shell at all), but it is a standard shell of course. Conceded it is outdated, its bugridden and its use is - rightfully so - discouraged. But i don't know any Unix derivate without a C-shell. SAP even has all its start- stop- and installation-scripts use csh and the SAP admin user is configured to have csh as default shell.

NAME
plymouth-set-default-theme - Set the plymouth theme SYNOPSIS
plymouth-set-default-theme [OPTION...] [THEME] DESCRIPTION
When called with a THEME argument, the plymouth-set-default-theme command changes the preferred boot theme and also performs the necessary regeneration of the initial ramdisk (initrd) since plymouth is loaded from the boot loader from the initrd prior to the mounting of the root filesystem. If plymouth-set-default-theme is invoked with no options or parameters, it shows the currently selected theme by default. This output is used by the helper scripts plymouth-generate-initrd and plymouth-update-initrd to set the proper theme in the initial ramdisk. OPTIONS
The following options are understood: -h, --help Show summary of options. -l, --list List available themes. -r, --reset Reset to default theme. -R, --rebuild-initrd Rebuild initrd (necessary after changing theme). SEE ALSO
