The sed command above would replace only the first occurrence of ; on a line -- to replace ALL semicolons, you need to specify global replacement:
That will replace every instance of a semicolon with a semicolon, backslash, and "n".
The portable way of including a newline in the replacement text requires preceding an actual newline character with a backslash (posix does not recognize \n in the replacement text).
