.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility copies the standard input to the standard output with substitution
|
|
or deletion of selected characters.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Complement the set of characters in
|
|
.Ar string1 ,
|
|
that is
|
|
.Dq "-C ab"
|
|
includes every character except for
|
|
.Dq a
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq b .
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
but complement the set of byte values in
|
|
.Ar string1 .
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Delete characters in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
from the input.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Squeeze multiple occurrences of the characters listed in the last
|
|
operand (either
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar string2 )
|
|
in the input into a single instance of the character.
|
|
This occurs after all deletion and translation is completed.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Guarantee that any output is unbuffered.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the first synopsis form, the characters in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
are translated into the characters in
|
|
.Ar string2
|
|
where the first character in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
is translated into the first character in
|
|
.Ar string2
|
|
and so on.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
is longer than
|
|
.Ar string2 ,
|
|
the last character found in
|
|
.Ar string2
|
|
is duplicated until
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
is exhausted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the second synopsis form, the characters in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
are deleted from the input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the third synopsis form, the characters in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
are compressed as described for the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the fourth synopsis form, the characters in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
are deleted from the input, and the characters in
|
|
.Ar string2
|
|
are compressed as described for the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following conventions can be used in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar string2
|
|
to specify sets of characters:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width [:equiv:]
|
|
.It character
|
|
Any character not described by one of the following conventions
|
|
represents itself.
|
|
.It \eoctal
|
|
A backslash followed by 1, 2 or 3 octal digits represents a character
|
|
with that encoded value.
|
|
To follow an octal sequence with a digit as a character, left zero-pad
|
|
the octal sequence to the full 3 octal digits.
|
|
.It \echaracter
|
|
A backslash followed by certain special characters maps to special
|
|
values.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -column "\ea"
|
|
.It "\ea <alert character>
|
|
.It "\eb <backspace>
|
|
.It "\ef <form-feed>
|
|
.It "\en <newline>
|
|
.It "\er <carriage return>
|
|
.It "\et <tab>
|
|
.It "\ev <vertical tab>
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A backslash followed by any other character maps to that character.
|
|
.It c-c
|
|
Represents the range of characters between the range endpoints, inclusively.
|
|
.It [:class:]
|
|
Represents all characters belonging to the defined character class.
|
|
Class names are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -column "xdigit"
|
|
.It "alnum <alphanumeric characters>
|
|
.It "alpha <alphabetic characters>
|
|
.It "cntrl <control characters>
|
|
.It "digit <numeric characters>
|
|
.It "graph <graphic characters>
|
|
.It "lower <lower-case alphabetic characters>
|
|
.It "print <printable characters>
|
|
.It "punct <punctuation characters>
|
|
.It "space <space characters>
|
|
.It "upper <upper-case characters>
|
|
.It "xdigit <hexadecimal characters>
|
|

|
|
.\" All classes may be used in
|
|
.\" .Ar string1 ,
|
|

|
|
.\" when both the

|
.\" .Fl d

.\" options are specified.
|
|
.\" Otherwise, only the classes ``upper'' and ``lower'' may be used in
|
|
.\" .Ar string2
|
|
.\" and then only when the corresponding class (``upper'' for ``lower''
|
|
.\" and vice-versa) is specified in the same relative position in
|
|
.\" .Ar string1 .
|
|
.\" .Pp
|
|
With the exception of the ``upper'' and ``lower'' classes, characters
|
|
in the classes are in unspecified order.
|
|
In the ``upper'' and ``lower'' classes, characters are entered in
|
|
ascending order.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For specific information as to which ASCII characters are included
|
|
in these classes, see
|
|
.Xr ctype 3
|
|
and related manual pages.
|
|
.It [=equiv=]
|
|
Represents all characters belonging to the same equivalence class as
|
|
.Ar equiv ,
|
|
ordered by their encoded values.
|
|
.It [#*n]
|
|
Represents
|
|
.Ar n
|
|
repeated occurrences of the character represented by
|
|
.Ar # .
|
|
This
|
|
expression is only valid when it occurs in
|
|
.Ar string2 .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar n
|
|
is omitted or is zero, it is be interpreted as large enough to extend
|
|
.Ar string2
|
|
sequence to the length of
|
|
.Ar string1 .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar n
|
|
has a leading zero, it is interpreted as an octal value, otherwise,
|
|
it's interpreted as a decimal value.

|
.Dl "tr \*q[=e=]\*q \*qe\*q"
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Ex -std
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
System V has historically implemented character ranges using the syntax
|
|
``[c-c]'' instead of the ``c-c'' used by historic
|
|
.Bx
|
|
implementations and
|
|
standardized by POSIX.
|
|
System V shell scripts should work under this implementation as long as
|
|
the range is intended to map in another range, i.e. the command
|
|
``tr [a-z] [A-Z]'' will work as it will map the ``['' character in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
to the ``['' character in
|
|
.Ar string2 .
|
|
However, if the shell script is deleting or squeezing characters as in
|
|
the command ``tr -d [a-z]'', the characters ``['' and ``]'' will be
|
|
included in the deletion or compression list which would not have happened
|
|
under an historic System V implementation.
|
|
Additionally, any scripts that depended on the sequence ``a-z'' to
|
|
represent the three characters ``a'', ``-'' and ``z'' will have to be
|
|
rewritten as ``a\e-z''.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility has historically not permitted the manipulation of NUL bytes in
|
|
its input and, additionally, stripped NUL's from its input stream.
|
|
This implementation has removed this behavior as a bug.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility has historically been extremely forgiving of syntax errors,
|
|
for example, the
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
options were ignored unless two strings were specified.
|
|
This implementation will not permit illegal syntax.
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It should be noted that the feature wherein the last character of
|
|
.Ar string2
|
|
is duplicated if
|
|
.Ar string2
|
|
has less characters than
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
is permitted by POSIX but is not required.
|
|
Shell scripts attempting to be portable to other POSIX systems should use
|
|
the ``[#*]'' convention instead of relying on this behavior.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
option is an extension to the
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001
|
|
standard.
