You might want to check websites for sed tutorials etc. or get a good book about it like sed&awk from O'Reilly.

It means
  • 2 ____ when the address is line 2
  • !d ____ do not delete it - ie. it will be printed

The opposite would have been:
Code:
sed -n '2p' infile

Which have meant to not print out every line but only the address you want to process.

xtinitialize

XtInitialize(3) 					    XT COMPATIBILITY FUNCTIONS						   XtInitialize(3)

NAME

       XtInitialize - initialize

SYNTAX

       Widget XtInitialize(String shell_name, String application_class, XrmOptionDescRec* options, Cardinal num_options, int* argc, char** argv);

ARGUMENTS

       shell_name
		 Specifies the name of the created shell widget.

       application_class
		 Specifies the class name of this application, which usually is the generic name for all instances of this application.

       options	 Specifies how to parse the command line for any application-specific resources.  The options argument is passed as a parameter to
		 XrmParseCommand.  For further information, see Xlib - C Language X Interface.

       num_options
		 Specifies the number of entries in the options list.

       argc	 Specifies a pointer to the number of command line parameters.

       argv	 Specifies the command line parameters.

DESCRIPTION

       XtInitialize calls XtToolkitInitialize followed by XtOpenDisplay with display_string NULL and application_name NULL, and finally calls
       XtAppCreateShell with application_name NULL, widget_class applicationShellWidgetClass, and the specified args and num_args and returns the
       created shell. The semantics of calling XtInitialize more than once are undefined. This routine has been replaced by XtAppInitialize.
