System V has historically implemented character ranges using the syntax
``[c-c]'' instead of the ``c-c'' used by historic
.Dq Li [c-c]
instead of the
.Dq Li 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
.Dq Li "tr [a-z] [A-Z]"
will work as it will map the
.Ql \&[
character in
.Ar string1
to the ``['' character in
to the
.Ql \&[
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
the command
.Dq Li "tr -d [a-z]" ,
the characters
.Ql \&[
and
.Ql \&]
will be
included in the deletion or compression list which would not have happened
under a 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''.
