So i tried
Code:
sed -n '/ \{3\}/p' filename
grep -E '^ {3}' filename

But is not returning any result. If i don't use {}, then it returns both the patterns.
You could try as above highlighted..

NAME
store, subyte, suswintr, suword -- store data to user-space SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/systm.h> int subyte(volatile void *base, int byte); int suword(volatile void *base, long word); int suword16(volatile void *base, int word); int suword32(volatile void *base, int32_t word); int suword64(volatile void *base, int64_t word); #include <sys/resourcevar.h> int suswintr(void *base, int word); DESCRIPTION
The store functions are designed to copy small amounts of data to user-space. If write is successful, it is performed atomically. The data written must be naturally aligned. The store routines provide the following functionality: subyte() Stores a byte of data to the user-space address base. suword() Stores a word of data to the user-space address base. suword16() Stores 16 bits of data to the user-space address base. suword32() Stores 32 bits of data to the user-space address base. suword64() Stores 64 bits of data to the user-space address base. suswintr() Stores a short word of data to the user-space address base. This function is safe to call during an interrupt context. RETURN VALUES
The store functions return 0 on success or -1 on failure. SEE ALSO
