.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 Fl C Li ab
|
|
includes every character except for
|
|
.Ql a
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql b .
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Same as
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
but complement the set of 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
|
|
For non-octal range endpoints
|
|
represents the range of characters between the range endpoints, inclusive,
|
|
in ascending order,
|
|
as defined by the collation sequence.
|
|
If either or both of the range endpoints are octal sequences, it
|
|
represents the range of specific coded values between the
|
|
range endpoints, inclusive.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bf Em

|
See the
|
|
.Sx COMPATIBILITY
|

section below for an important note regarding
|
|
differences in the way the current
|
|
implementation interprets range expressions differently from
|
|
previous implementations.
|
|
.Ef
|
|
.It [:class:]
|
|
Represents all characters belonging to the defined character class.

it represents the characters pairs from the

|
|
and

.Dq Li [:lower:]

it represents the characters pairs from the

|
|
.Pp
|
|
With the exception of case conversion,
|
|
characters in the classes are in unspecified order.
|

For specific information as to which

in these classes, see

Represents all characters belonging to the same equivalence class as

.It [#*n]
|
|
Represents

repeated occurrences of the character represented by

This

it is interpreted as a decimal value.

The following examples are shown as given to the shell:

Create a list of the words in file1, one per line, where a word is taken to
|
|
be a maximal string of letters.
|
|
.Pp

|
|
.Pp
|
|
.D1 Li "tr \*q[:lower:]\*q \*q[:upper:]\*q < file1"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
(This should be preferred over the traditional
|
|
.Ux
|
|
idiom of
|
|
.Dq Li "tr a-z A-Z" ,
|
|
since it works correctly in all locales.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Strip out non-printable characters from file1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.D1 Li "tr -cd \*q[:print:]\*q < file1"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Remove diacritical marks from all accented variants of the letter
|
|
.Ql e :
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "tr \*q[=e=]\*q \*qe\*q"
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
Previous
|
|
.Fx
|
|
implementations of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
did not order characters in range expressions according to the current
|
|
locale's collation order, making it possible to convert unaccented Latin
|
|
characters (esp.\& as found in English text) from upper to lower case using
|
|
the traditional
|
|
.Ux
|
|
idiom of
|
|
.Dq Li "tr A-Z a-z" .
|
|
Since
|
|
.Nm
|
|
now obeys the locale's collation order, this idiom may not produce
|
|
correct results when there is not a 1:1 mapping between lower and
|
|
upper case, or when the order of characters within the two cases differs.
|
|
As noted in the
|
|
.Sx EXAMPLES
|
|
section above, the character class expressions
|
|
.Dq Li [:lower:]
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq Li [:upper:]
|
|
should be used instead of explicit character ranges like
|
|
.Dq Li a-z
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq Li A-Z .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
System V has historically implemented character ranges using the syntax
|
|
.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
|
|
.Dq Li "tr [a-z] [A-Z]"
|
|
will work as it will map the
|
|
.Ql \&[
|
|
character in
|
|
.Ar string1
|
|
to the
|
|
.Ql \&[
|
|
character in
|
|
.Ar string2 .
|
|
However, if the shell script is deleting or squeezing characters as in
|
|
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
|
|
.Dq Li a-z
|
|
to
|
|
represent the three characters
|
|
.Ql a ,
|
|
.Ql \-
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql z
|
|
will have to be
|
|
rewritten as
|
|
.Dq Li 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 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq ideogram ,
|
|
.Dq phonogram ,
|
|
.Dq rune ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq special
|
|
character classes are extensions.
|
|
.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
|
|
.Dq Li [#*]
|
|
convention instead of relying on this behavior.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
option is an extension to the
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001
|
|
standard.
