[Discuss] SED question

I've got a script running a sed command that I need help interpreting. The line is "sed '$d' file1.txt > file2.txt".

I understand that sed '$d' file1.txt removes the last line from the file but will the resultant file (file2.txt) contain only the last line from file1.txt or will it contain everything *except* the last line from file1.txt?

Thanks,
Scott
